Well I always super size mine just so I can have more fish in the tank. Just ask tileman how big he went on the skimmer. Smaller skimmer =  less fish. Bigger skimmer = more fish. ]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:22:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347970&title=recirculating-skimmer#347970 <![CDATA[recirculating skimmer? : The first one is the # 4 rated...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347968&title=recirculating-skimmer#347968 Author: P.Kapp

The first one is the # 4 rated at 125 gals, and the other is a # 6 rated at 180.  im not sure which one I want to do yet. Im thinking i might just want to cry once and do the bigger one and just have it incase i ever go bigger. What do you guys think?

That would give you plenty of power off the overflow for the skimmer. What model of skimmer are you looking to run? ]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:16:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347951&title=recirculating-skimmer#347951 <![CDATA[recirculating skimmer? : Pumps up to 3000 GPH.

Pond type.  Mag Pumps.  I like them a lot.  IMHO I think you get the most bang for your buck with Mag pumps.]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:02:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347914&title=recirculating-skimmer#347914 <![CDATA[recirculating skimmer? : im not really sure. the guy i...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347816&title=recirculating-skimmer#347816 Author: P.Kapp

im not really sure. the guy i bought the setup from said it was a pond type of pump. he said he used it cause he wanted a stronger flow from the returns. i havent really looked to closely at it yet, or messed with it. not sure if i will use it or not..]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:24:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347816&title=recirculating-skimmer#347816 <![CDATA[recirculating skimmer? : Whats your return pump? ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347802&title=recirculating-skimmer#347802 Author: Guests

i was lookin at the reef octo's too. they seem like a pretty good deal for what you get. would i have enough flow with two overflows on my 125 going to it? or do you think i would be better off running another pump?]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:42:12 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39404&PID=347764&title=recirculating-skimmer#347764
