I have a SRO 6000 ext for my 210gl display with a 100gl sump, One awesome skimmer! I have set up a separate frag tank 48 x 24 x 11 with a 50 gl sump, total volume 85gl. I do not want a insump or a HOB I want an external skimmer similar in design the 6000 and I want a neck cleaning system. Probably asking for a lot, but do you have any recommendations?

Mark,

Glad to hear our skimmers are doing the job for you.

The skimmer I would recommend for you is the SNWB110. It is a recirculating skimmer that can handle up to 110 gallons of water. Since you are using this skimmer on a frag tank, there will be very little bio-load so this skimmer would fit your needs perfectly.

Mark,

Yes, the DNWB-110 skimmer can be use externally. It is stated on the page which I linked you to. You can find that plus more information right in the Overview section.

You would use the Octopus Cleaner 110 for that skimmer.

Hope this helps,

Recirculating Protein Skimmer Can you tell me if this will work and what may be the difference between the two. Sorry about all the questions, but I want to be as happy with my choice as I am with the 6000

Mark,

I am really sorry about this and about the confusion. We are working on streamlining our skimmer line for 2014. The DNWB110 and the DNW110 Skimmers are the same. I know that Reefspecialty carries them so here is the link to their site:

Fragtastic also carries them:

Hope this helps!
