Which skimmer???

[Sir Patrick]

Cant decide....really want whichever will be most quiet, but does a nice job also.


Eshopps PSK-100H Hang On protein skimmer, 75-100 gal. tank - AquaCave




or



Bubble Magus HOB Skimmer BM-NAC5E [BM-NAC5E] - $114.00 : Affordable Aquatic Supplies LLC

Gotta say, after the videos I have checked out- I am kinda leaning towords the eshopps, but the bubble magus is bigger, so I am unsure.....

Does the bubble plate make a big difference in a skimmer???

ya bubble plates do make a difference, good bubble plates break up the larger bubbles to finer ones which produce better skim mate

I wouldn't buy a skimmer with out a bubble plate,they make that much of a diffrence

Bump- placing my order tonight. Any one else want to chime in?

[Sir Patrick]

Just placed my order for the Bubble magus. After everything I have read- I cant really go wrong with either, for what I am looking to acheive. This skimmer will be skimming a 40 gallon mixed reef.

Might just go ahead and try my hand at producing my own bubble plate for the BM......Hmmmmm......
