    Dam you move fast. How much you willing to spend on skimmer? Youre going to need a good and big one. Maybe the Deltec AP1003 or AP1004. cbui2 has one on his system ask him how it has worked.

    P.S They have a big price tag.

    I think Bubble King is a good brand as well. But if youre going to get the deltec might as well go for the AP1004 (its better to be overskimming than underskimming in most situations) and you would have some cash left over.

    PM Tangster he deals with big tank, he will have better advice.

    Check out the big skimmers from BubbleKing there nice. Deltec and BubbleKing are top of the line no matter appearance.

    Here you go this is what I ran on my 750 this is the new inproved version But it will run off with the tank hell you can cut back to the 1500 or 1600 and still have something in the hole for that tank. But look at these ETSS 2500 XR
