which skimmer???
i'm going to get a new skimmer for my 125 fish only tank ,right now i have a seaclone 150 and i'm not crazy about it . i've kind of narrowed it down to a few which aren't overly expensive,i need a hang on so that also limits me besides cost i'd love to get a deltec but they are just too expensive for me at this time ,i want to start adding live rock a little at a time so the moneys gonna go on it and fish ,anyway my choices are :
a berlin turbo a turboflotor multi a coralife needle wheel thats for the responses!

Add a sump, you will greatly increase your choices and their effectiveness.

I use all three skimmers you mention - two berlins, four turboflotor multis
and one coralife needle wheel. The jury is still out on the coralife - I just got it three weeks ago, and it seems finicky - fills up with water too much, and doesn't seem to keep an adjustment. I'll never buy another Berlin - they are too hard to adjust and only work in spurts. The Turbofloters are by far the best. I've got three in my fishroom, and one in a in client's tanks. They alll foam like crazy and produce good, black-green skimmate - and lots of it. I've got a Turbofloter on my 125 FOWLR tank, and that aquarium has a HUGE bioload. The Turbofloter skims out so much crud it actually pushes the top of the collection cup over to the side! |
