Good protein skimmer

[IamJoshieG]

what brand/type of protein skimmer would you guys reccomend for a 55 gallon reef tank?

[CoralGAP]

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?

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.

dont get a prizm skimmer!

[IamJoshieG]

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.

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.

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