What do you guys recommend?

The CPR Aquafuge vs. Ecosystem 40.

Any experiences with these two? Thanks

I use a variant of the ecosystem method, but use LR instead of bioballs.
Underneath though, not hang on.

I use a aquafuge pro on my 90 gal reef setup, the difference I saw between the two of them, is that the aquafuge has a built in 4 inch skimmer(pro only). The eco system fuge has a lip of plexi that surrounds the top where the aqua does not. It is smooth sided on all four corners. Both are excellent in use and set up. The aqua fuge does not come with mudd but the eco does. All in all, they do a great job. IMHO, I like the aquafuge better do to its over-all space which is bigger and has more room to add skimmer or pumps etc in the fuge, where the eco is more confined.
Hope this helps. Oh and the eco comes with the light, the aqua does not.

Supernerd. Thats what I use. Ecosystem w/o bioballs and I LOVE it.
I am skimmerless, as well.

How is the skimmer on the ecosystem 40? Is it comparable to the cpr skimmer?
