    Hi,

    Do you need to get a HOB skimmer or do you have a sump? In sump or in-line skimmers are better on average than HOB skimmers.

    it looks like the odyssea protein skimmer that i just got.

    bIGGER IS BETTER

    hi,
    I have two skimmers one is ok the other is not so good, I would go for the largest skimmer cup you can afford. My best one is a coralife.
    They can fill up pretty quick if they over flow its a mess.
    I ve even seen some with a overflow built in .
    After you run one for a while you would appreciate that.

    With my AquaCEV180 I have it set up so the cup never fills up. Their is a valve for me to attach some soft hosing to redirect the skimmate to another bigger container, so I don't have to worry as much about overfilling the cup!
    I love AQUA C skimmers! I also have the remora for my smaller reef tank and it works great!
