I just wanted to add. Cantonese, i would wait till you could make a decision on which is best in threads that people own the skimmers they are promoting. The SWC extreme has alot of potential, but is untested by the public. If it does pan out and they are good then more power to them.
On the ones you suggested the euroreef seems to be the better build, and pump. JMO
The extremes could be all that and a bag of chips, But i would wait to make a purchase on that if you can.

Flamer dude,

Ummm, most of your groceries are made in the U.S.

Yeah, like Creetin says, get the ER if you need a skimmer now.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'll need the skimmer fairly soon, so I'll probably go with an EuroReef. I was surprised the aqua euro was not mentioned - maybe nobody's had experience with these?

Would the Rs180 be a better choice for this system than the Rs135? Also are the recirculating skimmers (like the ER CS's) worth the extra money?

Well i never was a fan of the recircs for the amt of extra cash they cost for so little reward over the internals. I think the 180 will do nicely too, and if you ever add say a nice fuge or a frag tank to the system youre good to go.
Aqua euro's are ok, But youre better off with the euro.
The euro is a great built skimmer, and will last. I would not hesitate with the euro with the list you have and price range.

Can you fit a DAS EX2? that is what i would get for sure! should be available now also and would take it any day over an RS135.

I owned the RS180 and have DAS NOW. I would go DAS over this line of ER's.

now the ER Rc's are a diffrent story
