Re: Good protein skimmer
Few ? before I can answer that in full?
Do you have a sump? Do you have unlimited funds? LOL Hang on back I never used them but a buddy really likes his Remora and for in sump, cheap people seem to like the coralife, I like EuroReefs-you cna do nock-off ER. OR go big and do the deltecs or ATI bubble masters! oooooo OR you could build your own? Lots of options? Also what kind of Bioload? |

Re: Good protein skimmer
Check out these.
My Reef Creations--Protein Skimmers I went with the MR-2 for my 65 gallon, way overkill, but I hope to upgrade to a much larger tank soon. You would be well served with the MR-1. Good luck, don't skimp. |

Re: Good protein skimmer
No, I do not have a sump and unfortunatly I do have limited funds ha ha. I was wondering if it was possible to find an adequate skimmer for around $100 or so? I will not have too high of a bio-load; I only plan on keeping 4-5 fish and a clean-up crew of invertebrates.

Re: Good protein skimmer
Your not going to find a really good skimmer for that price, and regardless of the bio-load you should have a really good skimmer. Check out the Remora from AquaC or the Archipelago from Bermuda Aquatics.

Re: Good protein skimmer
Alright, I guess I will give the Remora a try since it is fairly reasonably priced. Thanks a lot for the help.
