Whats a really good protein skimmer for a 135

[drewdog82]

I am starting up a 135 RR Oceanic and didn't want to skimp when it came to the protein skimmer. Can anyone suggest a good skimmer for this size tank. I will also have a 30gal. fuge/sump

I have the octopus dual recirc 200 on my 130. works great. The new models out now are supposed to be even better. Mine is 6-8 months old.

I've been researching this myself recently too. Haven't bought either yet so can't speak from experience, but Reeflo Orca ($$$$) and the Deltec models ($$$) get high praise on the boards.

I really dont know the Deltec... but I can speak in the name of the Orca, and IT IS a superb skimmer. The only "downside" is that it works inside a sump/refuge. And because of its (big) size, you'll need a big sump/refuge.
Otherwise the best "household" PS I have ever seen.

BTW, another downside is the $650 price tag... at least here.
