Skimmer Recommendation Wanted

in sump or external?

 

I don't know how accurate this is (I believe that some of it is subjective based on user information), but here's a comparison chart. http://www.aquariumcontrollers.com/aquarium-equipment-comparisons.php

Here is the link.  I will say it is nice to have information compiled like this but it is out of date.  It doesn't include newer skimmers like Warner Marine, ATB and other new cone style skimmers that is all the craze these days.

 

Troy thats a lot of water to skim, Here are some of my recommendations.

i have a my reef creation skimmer (MR - 1) that is really kick ***...right now it is out of sump but hopefully will be in sump some time...it is kind of expensive but it is really good quality and does damn good job...also the people at MRC were awesome to work with...i have pump issues when i got it and they helped mr figure it out right away... try looking at myreefcreation.com they have a bunch of different skimmers to choose from too...good luck

 

This is good to know!  I have an MR-1 purchased that I'm going to be hooking up to my setup.  I've also heard good things about them but have not seen one in action.  What's the total water volume of the system that you have it on?

I have it on 66g total...46 bow and 20 L...i try to clean once every week or two and i get some pretty thick stuff out of there...its pretty sweet

 

I agree...I did a little reading on those posted and they look pretty sweet
