skimmer for 210

[salt210]

Im looking into skimmers for the 210 as I know that the nautilus TE that I have been using isnt producing. As most I am on a tight budget. There is only 24" of height under the stand and this height needs to include the removal of the collection cup. any thoughts or opinions?

WOW...I purchased a wet/dry..with skimmer....It's a Sealife Systems Proseries.....IDK if they sell just the skimmer, but I love mine....it's greeeaaaatttt

MSX 250 would be perfect. Height is 22.75 and only requires 1/2 for cup removal.

someone else recommended that one as well. the only thing is the pumps that run have a bad reputation

 

[joncat24]

Most of the bad rap for the Sicce pumps, is that people try to mesh them too heavily and then they won't start on their own.
You could always opt for the askoll pump for it!

price goes to what 600 with that pump?

 

[joncat24]

Yeah, right around there. If you get the 250 and run it with the pinwheels, you won't have any problems with the pumps. Then it stays at $379

plus the askoll adds even more wattage draw, is it really worth the cost?
meowzer, sorry I never replied to your post. could only find the package for the equipment you listed
