    Just wanted to say hello. I am new to this forum and purchased a 24 gal Aquapod about 17 days ago. Its running fine and am wondering what type of skimmers that anybody that has a similiar setup is using????

    Salutations! Glad to see you found way here!

    Welcome to SW hobby.

    I really don't think a skimmer is absolutly necessary for a 24 gallon.

    Frequent regular water changes with existing filtration is probably adequate with a reasonable fish population and some mature live rock.

    Keep us posted on progress...post some pics...

    Rgds,


    Scott

    Yes! another new member to join the 3reef forums! aquapods seem really cool with their integrated hoods and filtration system. In a 24 gallon, most likely you will have a low bioload of fish, so continuous use of purigen or chemi pure along with weekly water changes could let you pass without a skimmer.
