whats a good brand to put on my 180 gallon reef tank?
asm skimmer
euro reef
etts
octopus
aquac
(((((( this is going in the sump
))
and i want something that just plugs in ((( dont want something that i always have to play with to make work
)
now my other question is since i have a 180 gallon do i have to get a skimmer over that number like a 220 gallon skimmer?
PLease let me know what you think
and please leave model number that you think would be the best one

I would go with octopus for sure out of the ones you listed.
Depending on your budget, I would recommend the recirc 250 or the nw 200.

ok i just measured my sump and i have 11" x 11" to work within....
the octopus nw200 says footprint 13.25 x 11
is that really the size man that would be 1 big skimmer....
i have the proclear 300 wet/dry that this would be going in....
what other options do i have man i really wanted to get that one...

I have heard people say that octopus is much better than ASM and that you get more bang for your buck with octopus. That was enough to convince me to get one considering that ASM is said to be one of the top brands.
