 enough skimmer? I was looking at the Euro-reef 135 model, and still am... but i found a REALLY good deal on a used Euro-reef 80 (Euro Reef protein skimmer saltwater ASM PM ETSS DELTEC - (eBay item 260190700849 end time Dec-12-07 17:14:54 PST)) Is this enough skimmer for a 120 tank? I am thinking on having few fish, mostly SPS, and softies.... The guy selling, said it was on his 120, but from experience, what do you all think??  |

| Re: enough skimmer? I've never actually owned a Euro-reef skimmer, but most people like to use the "realistic rating" provided by Euro-reef as a guide. They rate the RS80 skimmer for an average load of 80 gal and a heavy load of 50 gal so I would say that it is undersized. There is someone in my reef club that just got rid of his RC80 skimmer because he said it wasn't enough for his 100 gallons of total water volume.
