Protein Skimmer

[pufferfreak]

I will be upgrading my FOWLR (currently, but i will be getting some corals when i move) to a 40 gallon and am wondering what a good protien skimmer would be. But as always bigger is better so the tank may be bigger than this but less than 100 gallons for sure. So what would be a good skimmer?

For me $1,600.00 - $700.00 is way to much for skimmer. I know this is a bit over the top. I'm asking for a good, skimmer, not one lined in 24k gold

i have an etss skimmer and its a lil costly but it works very good.

lol sorry......over time at work?? lol but euro-reef RS 135 skimmer would work it about $300........but how much you wanna spend and i could recommend it 2 you.

$150-300 would be what I'd like to spend. Any good HOB Skimmers in that range?

Tanks is a 100 Gallon, but would like to use the skimmer when I upgrade to a 250 gallon.
When I upgrade I imagine that it'll go on a sump instead of a tank HOB.

the euro-reef RS 135 skimmer is good for 135-300 gallons.....it would be about $300 ORRR euro-reef RS 80 ---> 80-200 gallons about $200 AND good luck dudeee.

i like the ASM brand. in fact its usually the only model i ever recommend. About the same cost as the Euro's mentioned. For 300 you could get the G-3 model and be skimming about 6 times your tank volume lol. otherwise the g-2 model is always a good bet.
