Several types come to mind .. Ata 160 gallons A Red Sea Berlin classic and or the turbo flotor 1000 classic will do just fine . But if then if you want to spend more money ? Just look into the ETSS sump buddy's or the reef devil skimmers or the Bullet 1 either of these would run away with that size tank system . Now any of these 4 or 5 skimmers would do just fine.. I have a 135 still running and running well with a red sea berlin classic now since 98 . with about 225 total gallons with fuge and sump.. The refugium really reduces the amount of skimmer that will be needed also. I know of a few using the coralifie skimmer on 150 systems and are doing just fine.. There is no one answer..
But if you are going to keep mosly coarls and run a refugium and good mechanical filtration then you would be suprised at how little skimmer you would really need.. But in my eperiences with the system you described then any of the above would all do just fine.. larger is not always better you can over skim a reef tank I think..Happy hunting (: _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) |
