Hey all! I've been researching protein skimmers for a solid week now. Man, these things are like tube amplifiers--so many details, so much nonsense, it's hard for a newb to know what to do.
My tank will be a 240-gallon FOWLR (until it inevitably becomes a reef tank). I'm trying to keep the skimmer around $400 without buying junk, and I've been looking at skimmers rated for ~400-gallon tanks. (I guess some skimmer manufacturers actually rate their models accurately, but most do not.)
Do Bubble Magus, AquaMaxx, and Aqua Euro make quality products? I could do an ASM skimmer for about 25% above my price point, but perhaps I don't need to do that.
Assuming it will fit, the skimmer will go into an Eshopps R300 or RS300 sump.
Any thoughts on the above would be most appreciated. Thanks!
