Protein Skimmer Suggestions
Can I get a suggestion of the 3-5 best protein skimmers on the market. Looking to invest in a new one.

Re: Protein Skimmer Suggestions
Euro reef, asm, and there are some new bubble units entering the market currently. others will recommend additional units they have had luck with. also if you want a sump and skimmer combo look into the CPR 194 or 294 units. I am curently using the CPR 294 and a Euro reef 250 RC. Others will post with additional suggestions. My recommendation is to at least buy one that is rated for your size of system at the bottom line and is rated for larger systems so if you have a 90 gal, get a skimmer that is rated for a 90+ system, not a 60 - 100 gal system. good luck.

Re: Protein Skimmer Suggestions
How much $$$ do you want to spend? That makes a big difference.

Re: Protein Skimmer Suggestions
It also matters a lot on the type of placement you will have. Will it be an in sump skimmer or a Hang on Back(HOB) style

Re: Protein Skimmer Suggestions
I have never heard of Bullet or Volcano skimmers...
I really like the Octopus brand. Very affordable and it does a great job. My LFS uses Octopus on all their display tanks and I'm running one on my 240.

Re: Protein Skimmer Suggestions
Octopus for price
Lifereef for simplicity-works terrific and a no maintenance skimmer. Bubble King if I was rich. There are many good skimmer...ASM,Euroreef,MRC(My Reef Creations)plus more I'm sure.
