Recomend me a skimmer

i have a 55g dt 25g of water in my sump 75+lbs live rock 60+lbs live sand. i wanna keep mixed reef and some small fish. whats the best skimmer or this setup. ive been lookin at some octopus skimmers they look good but im not sure. any suggestions?

 

I really like my octopus, its a well built quality unit.

 

which model?

 

i have the turboflotor 1000 blue seems to do pretty well

 

ya i have seen that skimmer its blue and stuff, does it skim wet or dry?

 

Can go either way. Easy to adjust

 

I have the BH-100F, but that is an HOB model, as I dont run a sump on my 40. But they have some great in-sump models as well that I have checked out, built every bit as well as my current one. They tend to be on the larger size though, so you will have to check to see how much room you have in the sump.
Aqua C EV-120, PM Redline 100 would also be decent choices worth checking out

 

Oooooooo I have a list for you. For a 55g, they may seem like a little much, but it's not out of line.

In order of preference (if it were me)

In Sump:

PM Bullet-1
E.T.S.S. Reef Devil
AquaC EV-120
ASM G1-X
Octopus DNW-110
Aqua Medic Turbo Flotor 1000
Aqua Medic Turbo Flotor Blue

Hang On Back possiblities

Aqua Medic Turbo Flotor 1000 Multi SL
AquaC Remora Pro
Octopus BH-100F

 

thanx for all the suggestions man ill lookinto some of these. I am going for an insump model.

 

ya they do al seem a lil much, but i gues it wouldnt be that good to skimp on a skimmer. i like the recirculation skimmers but them make you buy an extra pump for it to work wich raises the price quite a bit. have you ever seen the octopus nw150 ?
