Hi I am needing to upgrade my skimmer pertty soon. I have a G4 on the thank right now. I know it is under sized but everything i had in the tank was pretty small so it has been getting me by.
I am not sure what skimmer I should get. I have a 220g tank and about 75g sump. I have been looking at the Bubble Magus BM-NAC9 Cone Protein Skimmer on BRS for $399. I really dont want to spend over $500 on the skimmer but don't want to spend $400 then need to spend another $600 because I got the wrong thing to start with.
Thanks for your help.

The Curve 7 by bubble magus is rated for a 240g($289.99), it has an upgraded pump and they work great. We have them instock, but could easily get you the curve 9 rated 240-400g ($399.99) within a day or two of ordering. ------------- http://www.reefon.com/" rel="nofollow">  ReefOn 7563 S Main St (700W) Midvale, Uta |

Is Tyler still making them? I have checked out is website and he does not list them any more. That and I think they might be out of my price range. I have his sump and love it. ------------- 220g , large elite aquatics sump. 3 Radion Pro Gen 3 lights 3 Mp 40's |
