skimmer for 55 gal

SeniorT2005 · 02-21-2006, 09:48 PM

What type of skimmer is best for a 55gal, also it has to be a hang on type since the tank is a walmart chepo

tank I cannont setup and undertank system. I have seen a couple that are on the market, like the prism and seaclone, are these good systems or are there better ones? Price is not to much of an object just want to get the right one the first time. Thanks

An Aqua C Remora would work great for your tank.

The Aqua-C Remora is very good. Strong performance at a reasonable price. Get the Maxi-Jet pump, but forgo the prefilter/bubble trap box.

But, a better skimmer is the Deltec MCE 600. It works better, but costs significantly more.

Thanks for the help I just bought one through marine depot and it should be here soon.

Set up a Sea Clone on my 10 G nano last night. Woke up today with 6 gallons of water in the tank. The "snap-in" connection at the base leaked. Garbage.
