    Hay guys I'm new to the Aquarium seen and i was wondering which protein skimmer is better. A internal or external cause I'm hearing people saying that internal is cheaper and it's built in the wet-dry system while a external is more expensive?

    So if Anyone can help me I'll really appreciate it thanks!!!!!

    I would go with internal to avoid any floading potential. What is your budget? How big is your aquarium?

    (I moved your post as it should have been as new thread.)

    Yeah....I have my usual and customary recommendations.....but I need to know the size of your tank.

    Pretty much. Reef tanks are one place that you can never have too much information.
