[logan15]

Whats the best skimmer for under $250?I was looking at the Turbo Flotor 1000 or the 1000Multi any ideas?

If I had 250 to spend I would get a euro reef everyone recommends them on the boards

 

[logan15]

I have a 125 reef and run a remora pro with a mag5 and it does a great job. If you wanted even more power you could upgrade to a mag7. Don't get the rio, and don't run the mag3, stay with the 5 or 7. It works wonders

Just bought a used ETS700 with a mak4 for $225. IMO - that's about the best thing under $250. Go used. Try to find someone that's upgrading.

going used it the only way your going to get a GOOD skimmer for under 250.00....If you can't find a good used one you'd be better off letting the tank run without until you can save for a GOOD skimmer.
