I need a new HOB skimmer for my 48 Gallon tall reef tank. Currently I have a Red Sea Prizm and have had nothing but troubles with it. I can rarely get it adjusted properly, and it is super noisy. I know there are tons of mods that can supposedly make this thing work better, but I'd rather just replace it.
My LFS recommends an Warren HX2 - but at $300 I want to make sure it is the best way to go. I don't mind spending the money; I just hate wasting it!
I've read up on various skimmers - the Deltec 500 and 600 seem to get good reviews, but about the same price as the Warren. I also hear that the Remora is a good choice.
To be honest though - I just don't trust reviews from the so-called professionals; its tough to get a non-biased opinion.
I'm looking here to the community for advice on what is the best, easiest to use HOB skimmer for my setup.
Thanks!
