    Default What reef octopus skimmer to get?

    I am looking at these reef octopus skimmers. My sump size is a issue on certain 5000 models but might not be on the Super Reef Octopus

    How big is your display and what are the dimensions of the sump area it has to fit in?
    I simply can't trust people that don't like bacon,

    It is an internal skimmer and is rated for a 200 gal tank. Good luck

    Sorry I thought it said "pump" size.
    A lot depends on how much livestock your going to put in your 200g.
    Go with as big as you can squeeze into your sump. Defiantly want it rated larger than your tank. You can always pick up a larger tank or change the baffles in existing one.
