Hello, can any one give me a head-up on which protein skimmer is a better buy?
i'm looking at a Bermuda Aquqtics or a Euro Reef. it's for a 200 g

Thanks

i am not familiar with the bermuda, but Euroreef has some of the best skimmers on the market

i dont know the american skimmers, but id suggest you also check out the german makes & models as well.

I have the same problem, ordered a AGA 210g reefready tank, but cant decide on skimmer. Its drivin me to drink.

Choice 1: Precision Marine Bullet 2 Protein Skimmer Package w/ Gen-X Mak 4

or

Choice 2: Euro-Reef RS250 In-Sump Protein Skimmer

Both Skimmers will handle the tank, and cost is within 5 bucks.
What to do. The PM Bullet 2 price includes sale price reduction
of 20%.

I plan on using a 75g sump on this system with 33g FUGE.

Please help me.

Hi uglyshark and

to TR.

I'm not familiar with the Bermuda but know that EuroReef has a great reputation. My LFS sells several brands but they use ASM's on their tanks. I have a Berlin Classic and think that it is OK but since I haven't used any other I don't have anything to compare it to.

i can have Euro reef "knock offs" made for anyone interested ... and at $400 you cant really beat it. the only difference is that they use cast acrylic and the guy here uses extruded acrylic, but now euro reef is building thier skimmers out of extruded too (to compete with everyone else price wise).
