What skimmer to use?

[loonz]

Hi,

Assuming a setup of 5 x 2.5 x 2.5, which skimmer would you recommend using if I want to keep a reef tank...with SPS and without SPS....Thanks for your feedback.

As expensive as you can spent.

It's not a rule of thumb, but true fact

[akahoshi]

Hahaha.. All the bros here will tell you "BECKETT!!"

And all the sis here will tell you "H&S SKIMMER!!"

Hahaha.. just kidding lah.. no connections between H&S Skimmer and sis at all.. haha..

Seriously, wad bro minsmarine say is only half true. Cuz if you sell me a 6" Beckett Skimmer for $10, See whether I buy or not!!!

[minsmarine]

$10, bad lar, I am still using Macro JS300, $100 skimmer

If you got for $10 , let me know har So I can upgrade..........

[kelstorm]

if u can afford, go for deltec.. if budget constraint, beckett is good too..

[KTLK]

get the best u can afford so that don't have to keep on spend more $$ to upgrade

My fowlr set up also 5,2.5,2.5. After consider a long time,I decided on a Shorty 2,so far works very well for my high fish loads

If you intend to maximize your tank then go for the best( probably most expensive).Otherwise you waste money upgrading later on.If you intend to just have a few sps, get an average one will do.
