Best skimmer for a 90gallon reef?
I have a 10gallon nano right now but eventually would liek to move to a 75 gallon or 90 gallon setup. I was wonderign what a good skimmer would be for a tank that big and what kind of cost we are looking at.

Well... I have a MRC MR-2 skimmer that ROCKS! Very easy to clean, and it pulls all kinds of gunk out. I have room, so I am going to add a larger reaction chamber, just because I can.
A truly adequate skimmer is going to cost you about the same as your truly adequate lights. (Figure $500-600, including pump.) |

Interesting. Sometimes the high cost makes me wonder why I like reefs and saltwater so much

Deltec? expensive but worth it over the longer run with added advantage of low wattage

Hey, if you are going with a 75 or 90 gallons tank, why don't you take a look at the Remora AquaC pro, it is $300 cheaper than the deltec and it is very efficient, quiet and easy to clean. I think this is the best bang for the bucks!
