    I need help identifying my protein skimmer. I got it with my setup, I bought the tank, and all the lights, and filters from a lady near Tampa but she couldnt tell me anything about the skimmer. I dont know what it's actually rated or anything. I'll post a picture of it shortly. It pulls out a ton of dark skimmate, with just two damsels in the tank...... It's pretty well put together also.....

    what size tank is this running on i found info on the pump
    Needle Wheel Skimmer Pumps | Saltwater Pumps/Powerheads | Saltwatereddies.com

    most skimmers that run that size pump are in the 40-60 gallon range i like that the skimmer seems to have a nice size cup and what looks to be a bubble plate witch should help with eficiancy my only concern is the narrow body size

    but if its working well it will get you by peramiters will let you know if your starting to tax your skimmer
