Skimmers


I have a prism skimmer and want a better one. I need a hang on skimmer not one made for a sump. Money is not really an issue...

I have a 150 Gallon tank. Remora? Seaclone 150? Any other ideas???

Re: Skimmers

If money is NOT an issue, I would look into the Deltec HOB skimmers, MCE600 to be exact. It is very pricey but I hear, hands down its the best HOB skimmer available. Also 2 Remora Pros would work too. But thats about the same price as the Deltec....

Just my 2 cents....

Re: Skimmers

I might be getting a Red Sea Berlin today or tommorow. I have been told this is a good skimmer. I am currently using a Sea Clone 100, so this would obviously be an upgrade. My question is: Is it ok to use both? will it be beneficial to my 85 gallon?
