Skimmer for 110 gal
Hi everyone,
I have read a lot of threads on this forum. I had 3 skimmer so far, and I have never been satisfied (CPR BakPack, ASG-G3, MQ-Tech Aquatic). Most of the time, I had no real budget... but this is less of a problem now. I am stun to see no real comparison review between skimmers, and the more I read threads, the more I feel like either I can't go wrong, or that I will... My perfect skimmer will:
Any idea? Should I gone cone or not? ATB, Bubble king, Vertex, RS-extrem SWC, Octopus... ARRRGNN!!! I am willing to pay the price for quality, but not just for the brand. I live in Quebec Canada... sorry about my english (we speak french up here). Last edited by BaronPoudrier; 10/14/2010 at 11:54 AM. |

Check out the SWC 160 cone. Fits your needs perfect.

ATB all the way. You cannot go wrong with the ATB's. I'd go for their small cone or the 840. Go to ATB's website and click on skimmate. Some of those pictures should come with smell o vision. If they did I don't think you'd want to be withing 100 feet of your computer.

+2 for ATB. Also may check out the I-tech's, they seem to have happy customers.
My 2 favorite things about Quebec, The Gatinaeu River and poutine, awesome place. |

Well if the distributor problem is an issue you could consider a Deltec, Bubble King, or Vertex. Also the new skimz skimmer line looks really nice also.

Also the SRO line up of the Octopus skimmers are really popular now.
