skimmer

[wallie03]

hi all i'm looking to upgrade my skimmer right now i have a p.o.s "SeaClone Protein Skimmer" i dont have a sump so it will need to be a hob skimmer its going on a 55 gal. i'm thinking of buying a Coralife Super Skimmer Needle Wheel 220. anyother sugestions on a good skimmer? i can spend around $250 but if i could spend less that would be awsome

I would go with an Octopus or an AquaC Remora over the coralife both are much better skimmers. I am partial to the AquaC because I like the spay injection nozzle much better than the venturi that the Octopus uses.

If f you have the room look at the Octopus BH 300F. Good skimmer for the money.

Can't really go wrong with either, just depends on the foam production method you want to use.
