I posted this on my tank thread but thought that it might get a better response if I gave it it's own thread.
I'm still looking for a longer term solution for a skimmer on my system. My ASM G-3 is not rated high enough for my volume and I'd like to stock a little on the heavy side with fish but still keep water quality for keeping/growing SPS. I have some fairly common size limitations in my sump/skimmer chamber with an available dimmension of about 11.5" by 17.5". So I've weeded through a ton of different skimmers that I don't think will work for me for a variety of reasons and have come down to 2-3 that I'm seriously looking at.
Head to Head I am looking at the ATI BM200 rated for 200g and the Deltec APF600 rated for 200g. The Deltec is about $100 more than the bubble master. ...for the same $100 more I could also get the ATI BM 250 which is rated for nearly 500g. So my questions are....
If it was you... Deltec APF600 or Bubble Master 200 or Bubble Master 250?
I know it's not likely but... could the BM250 be "TOO" much skim for my roughly 200g system?
Anyone here have experience with these guys that could give me some feedback?
