If you had $1000 for a Huge Bioload Skimmer, which would you buy?

[Tom Toro]

If your just going to house softies and nems you really don't need some amazing skimmer... or the biopellets. What you have would work, if you want to replace the skimmer there are options that would work good for probably half of what your considering spending.

I'm interested. What types/models are you thinking?

I would buy a super reef octopus 5000 cone. I have had mine for about six months and it's the best skimmer I have ever bought. Not a complaint about it!

There's a guy with a 300+ sps tank that's world class that uses that skimmer. So that's on my list and again around $500 so thanks.

How about this guy?

ATI PowerCone 250 I-Series Skimmer with Controllable Pump

It is under $800, runs on 35 watts of electricity, and is rated for 250-500+ gallons.

I like the efficiency for sure, but in the old days (I'm old) when a manufacturer quoted a rating, we used to cut 'em in half. I did see this guy for 733$ shipped. I have to do more research, but thanks for the suggestion.
