HOB Skimmer

Hi all

I am starting a 65G tank, I have an ACC110 to include rock rubble and flow, as well as 2 powerheads.

Someone I know has offered me this skimmer for a good deal - is it worth it?

AquaReady (AquaMaxx) HOB 1.5 Hang-On-Back Protein Skimmer

Buy this AquaMaxx HOB-1.5 Hang-On-Back Protein Skimmer online in Canada

Thanks,

And, would it better to remove the AC110, and just have this protein skimmer?
thanks!

I’ve never used that brand but I’ve not heard anything negative about them.

I would use both the skimmer and AC110. The AC110 gives you the additional filtration of the rock and will also give you a spot to add carbon, GFO, etc as needed. Plus, it adds more circulation.

Thank you!

You’re very welcome. Can’t wait to start seeing pics of your progress.

Give it a try! I'm not familiar with the brand, but as long as it makes bubbles and you can adjust it to collect some gunk your tank will react positively.
I ran an AC110 refugium and a hang on back skimmer on a 20g nano tank for several years with good results.
