125g skimmer question

[swilbs83]

I have never had a tank this big and am a little clueless on the skimmers for tanks this size. I stupidly bought a seaclone thinking I could modify it to work well. How wrong I was. Well, I'm looking for a hang on something 300 dollars or less, that won't be spilling millions of bubbles in my tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

My recommendation would be a Lifereef VS-24.
If you want to run it outside the sump it'll cost ya $389.00 for everything.
If you want to run it in the sump, it costs $339 with rio pump or $359 with magdrive pump. Don't get the rio if you do decide on lifereef.

Didn't notice you needed hang-on.
Same skimmer hang-on model with Rio3100 $359.00 or with MagDrive950 $379.00.

To my knowledge Euroreef doesn't make a hang on model. Am I wrong?

I have had great luck with a prizm pro deluxe. It took a while for the break in period, about two weeks with the flow almost nothing but now it has been running for about 3 months skimming great and no micro bubbles.

sorry cost about 199

I just picked up a skimmer and pump today for $190. Skims like a champ.
