Protien Skimmer or UV Sterilizer on BIO CUBE 29

[al aziz85]

What would be better for a 29 gallon oceanic bio cube? skimmer or uv sterilizer? any suggestions links? products?

skimmer, preferably an AquaC. pretty much plug and go and low maintanance. UV you have to have a pump and buy bulbs. if you do water changes you wont need a UV. it kills bad bacteria which the skimmer removes also. have a great night,

I went to the site? http://www.proteinskimmer.com/productsnew.htm?
are you talking about the Remora?

 

[reefnetworth]

correct, with the MJ-1200. it will be more than adequate for your needs. which is usually recommended. 29 gallons, you want minimum of 60 gallon skimmer. the Remora is rated for 75 which is why you wouldnt need a UV.

theres no prices? are they pretty pricey?

 

[reefnetworth]

about $135.00 on www.marinedepot.com about an average price.
the site you pulled is for retailers not public sales.
