Protein Skimmer

[lfduty]

I need a little protein skimmer for my grils 35g reef if you have one that you dont want or need let me know i have 150labs of sand i dont need.

150 pounds? Is that in bags, or just sitting in the bottom of a tank that is waterless now?

I do have a small skimmer that would work in a 35 with no problems i am sure.

 

[lfduty]

no the sand is in the bags it came in

 

[Questin]

Do you have a sump for this tank that you can put a skimmer in, or do you need one that hangs on the back? I am trying to recall what type of skimmer I have, I am going to have to go look first before I say what one thou cause I cant remember.

I have a sump that i can put a skimmes in but im going to need a hand on for my asehorse tank.

I have a 75 gallon rate EuroReef that would kick the crap out of that tank if you're interested... $160.00

Mine is Mr Cheapo, so if you go for erics that is cool. I bet mine cost like $30 lol

Eric what model is that? If he does not buy it I would like to get it from ya. Sidetrack, I broke off some more teeth and it barely overflows now whenI trigger my surge. I need to smooth it out now and make it not so Ghetto looking now.

Hello,

I have a wet/dry filter and was wondering where I could find a skimmer to fit it? All the ones I see in the LFS are too tall

Dan they no longer sell it but I think it is a CS 5-2...

I converted Tracy's wet/dry to a sump and we used a hob skimmer. It seems to be working good, you just need to lengthen the tube from the pump to the skimmer.

You might also try and get an ASM mini. I have one on my 33 cube, and it isn't that tall. It works pretty good though.
