Skimmer for frag tank setup.

[J.guokas]

I am in the middle of setting up a frag tank with a 40 gallon sump. The frag tank itself is 24x24x14 so not too big but I want to leave some wiggle room for an upgrade. Which skimmer do you guys recommend? Reef octopus? Swc? Let me know what you think and if anyone has one available that they would like to sell let me know as well. Thanks for all the tips.

Bubble Magus Nac 6 is always a good option.

What does everyone think of the reef octopus skimmers. I'm a skimmer newb here.

I have one on my 75g and it works great, although I do have to adjust it periodically to keep it at optimum. The do wish it had a smaller footprint though

Which model are you referring to?

 

[SynDen]

NWB 150 I think is the model

Looks like they have a space saver model as well.

ya believe they do now, they didn't when I bought mine, but c'est la vie. They do work pretty good though, I always get really thick green sludge out of it and they also seem to work better the dirtier they get

I have the same SWC skimmer that Munch is trading on my frag tank and it is awesome. Puts my CAD lights skimmer on my display tank to shame. I've never had a reef octopus. Maybe you can work some sort of deal out with Munch?
