Skimmer Suggestions

[Salt]

afternoon,

I'm looking to upgrade my skimmer and wondering if the community my share some insight/suggestions.

I have a 75g reef with what i would consider a med. load and a 20g sump/fuge underneath.
looking to swap out my lousy skimmer with something new.

I'm trying to budget for less than 200$.....any thoughts?

what are you currently running now? what are the issues with it ?

I've heard good things about Octopus lately.... I've seen a few tanks running them for multiple years and they looked good and healthy.

I had a coralife skimmer a while back and didn't like it. Assembly was bad and results were moderate.

I've been running a Coral life 75 and im not over pleased and kinda tired of moding to be honest.

I'm running a Bubble Magus on my ~150g system and it's crazy how much skim it pulls.   No messing around with it, just break it in,  dial the bubbles in and it pulls great.

@stuss,

Do you mind me asking which BM you were using I've been reading up them.

I think I have narrowed my search to Bubble Magus Curve, Reef Octopus 110IN orSCA 303.

what did you end up getting?

after much research and deliberation I opted to go in route of the Reef Octopus....I hummed and hawed between the 150 & 110 and in the end chose the latter.
