    210G Display and 40G Sump.
    200lbs of sand
    200lbs of Dry rock
    No Coral

    I'm really stuck on making my skimmer choice. I've been looking at the aqua c ev240. Is there anything other skimmers I need to look at or should I just pull the trigger on this ev240 and buy the mag12 pump ?

    I wasnt including the price of a pump into the cost of the skimmer since some diff brands come with the pump.

    I'm waiting for my Bashsea twisted skimmer to get here next week. I've heard some good things, so I hope it performs as well as I've heard.

    Yea I've heard some great things about them to but the bioload rating worries me. I dont know if they under rate them or what. I dont know if im gonna find a better deal than that reef octopus.
