Skimmer...120gal...need 2 fit 24" tall space

[Ereefic]

Looking to get an in-sump skimmer for our 120gal. I only hae 24" height to work with and that will be tight. What are my options?

[Mark_OR]

Euro-Reef ES8-1 or CS8-1, both rated for 135gal, both 20" tall.

[Ereefic]

Is there something CHEAPER that would work well?

I have a used berlin classic skimmer--- its just under 23 inches tall. $50 plus shipping of your choice if your interested PM me if you are!

[Ereefic]

cb747, got a link to info on that skimmer you have?

Not liking what I read about that skimmer cb747. How's it working for you?

[cb747]

It works fine for me. I bought out someones tank and ended up with a second one i dont need

I'd say go with a Euroreef, you won't regret it. They're better than anthing else for the price, and you can order a blemished model from h20tropicals.com for very cheap. You can read about them and reveiws in the ''Euroreef club'' thread. I'd say a ES 6-1 would work great, its 20'' tall. Even though its rated for 100 gallons, don't underestimate the power of these babies. If you e-mail h20tropicals you can get a price. Dont' quote me, but I'd say a ES 6-1 would be about $260. Its an important investment and many people including myself regret having bought any other skimmer, especially a lower quality one. Just my 2 cents. good luck. -Will

thanks willra, i'll check it out. For the new ones, it's like $450, that's too much.

[Ereefic]

They don't have any blemished ones in right now. Have to keep checking back.

[willra]

Oh, ok. Yeah, $450 is pretty expensive. Just keep e-mailing Jeff back, he's nice and replies back quickly. A 6-1 is $340 new, but the blemished models are a lot cheaper, and definately worth it because they usually have just have some scratches or something and the customer service is good.
