Skimmer Recommendations for a Reefer 750xxl

launchnukes · 05/17/2018, 07:43 AM

I've been out of the hobby for a while and just got my red sea reefer 750xxl. plan to run as a fairly heavily stocked sps tank. display is 160 or so gallons. any skimmer suggestions? looking in the mid-mid/upper price ranges...maybe $450-$650ish

i really like the build quality of the nyos quantum but unsure whether i would go with a 160-220
was looking at RO elite 200int but it's about 1" too wide for my sump
also considering the vertex omega 200i but seems to have mixed reviews

suggestions?

Thanks.

The Vertex 200 Omega is too large for that tank. The 180 is much better choice.

I recommend a Simplicity. Very durable, powerful, quiet, and did not break the bank.
