Looking for suggestions

Looking for some suggestions about protein skimmers. Have 10 yr old,, 125 gal, deep sand , coral and fish tank, think bio load is starting to build up, still have my old Berlin skimmer from day one. Don't think it's working as efficient as it should, Any thoughts thanks

 

AquaC EV180!!
I love the unit!!!

 

Coral life super skimmer 220. Best bang for the buck. If you have the cash the EV180 would RULE.......my simple dream skimmer.

 

what kind of a budget do you have? there are a lot of choices now for good skimmers

 

skimmer

budget not really a concern within reason, must be usable in a 50 gal sump with 26" clearance

 

OOOO boy, theres a whole list of skimmers if you dont have a budget. Ill definitely look at the aquac ev180. Octopuss is very good too(specially if you mod) but they are really big, Bubble king are good, but big, Deltec are awesome!!!!
If you dont have a budget, then theres really, a big list of skimmers for you!!

 

How mush dissolution has occurred with in the sand in the last few yrs that would give an indicator as to the amount of DOC you are dealing with to ask the skimmer to do. One size does not fit all when it comes to skimmers on some older tank's. At 10 yrs it may be more then you can ask from a skimmer. OTS may well be the issue ?
What skimmer have you been running ?

 

even though you dont have a budget ill still try to save you some$$

Don't me to imply $ don't matter, just that protein skimming is so important you need to get the best you can afford. My skimmer is the only filtration I have used since I started. Thanks for the suggestions.
