s3xtcy Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi there, Im starting my first saltwater tank, and just not quite sure what to buy protein skimmer wise, the tank is roughly 240 litres, plus the sump. However in the (hopefully) not too distant future I want to upgrade to a 450 litre tank, and probably the same sump. Ive been offered a Bubble Magus NAC7 Protein Skimmer with a spare needle wheel for $200, its aparantly under a year old, and is currently running, soon to be available. My other option is a Aqua One G220 protein skimmer, brand new for $180. Ive trawled the internet and found so many conflicting reviews about both units, however some of the technical parts I dont really understand, I was hoping someone may have had some experience with either skimmer and may be able to offer their suggestions? Thanks alot :cr3: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 the BM will do for your upgrade as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have a bubble magnus curve 7 skimmer for my 800ltr tank. I have used it a little already and I recommend Bubble Magnus. They work very well and are built for the job. $200 sounds like a good deal to me, if you brought it elsewhere online it would cost you more incl shipping, and its almost new.
