    Now don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming its true, but lets pretend.

    If money was no object, what skimmer would you put on a 57g sps/lps mixed reef.

    either deltec or bubble king...

    bubble king is the best, but deltec and H&S are close seconds IMO

    bubble king mini 180 for your tank

    Me? I would have Sofia Vergara and Amanda Righetti in postage stamp sized bikinis and tiny nets hand skimming my tank :D

    I know that's not what you meant, but if I'm going to dream.... dream big.

    My first choice would be an ATB 840.
    My second choice would be the BK mini 180.

    The only way I would choose the BK over the ATB was if sump space did not allow for a skimmer with an external pump. Skimmers with a pump in the body, like the BK mini, have much less bubble contact time than one that injects into the bottom of the skimmer, like the ATB.
