The best recirculating skimmer that you can install for your setup is an H&S A250, but it's a hefty $1,900. An excellent in sump is the H&S 250 for $1,600 or the ATi Bubblemaster 250 for $839. ...

Wallen, I don't know anything about the new swc extremes or if they perform similar to the BM skimmers. But if you were to get a BM skimmer the model that best fits your situation is the BM160. In...

Where were you 2 months ago? Ahhh, I could have bought myself a H&S! Best skimmer anyone can put onto a 75g to 150g reef setup. Shucks! Good luck with your sale, free bump up for a great skimmer!

Fliger, is there an option to place the ELOS P2 on mounting brackets and set on top of the tank or must it be hung only?

Just my 2 cents, I wouldn't consider the H&S A150 for a 210 reef, it's cutting way too close to the full capacity of the skimmer's max. If you had a light bioload fish only, it would be just fine. ...

I'm definitely staying with individual parabolic reflectors around each bulb rather than a single reflector across all the bulbs like the Novas.

You pick the fixture that is the correct length for your tank, then buy the bulbs separately from somewhere else. Don't settle for those crappy AquaZ bulbs, get either ATi or UVL.
