Protien skimmer

[Jrid1997]

I am new to the hobby and I have never owned a protien skimmer but I'm needing to get one since I'm trying to start a 75 gallon saltwater tank. Can you guys tell me a good hang on the back protien skimmer that will be easy for me to figure out how to operate?

Used a reef octopus classic 2000 for years on my wife's little sea horse tank worked well and very simple to setup and maintain.

Idk if a hob skimmer will be suffiecient for a 75gallon. I know some may say they are rated for 50-75g but these are usually overrated by the manufacture. If you are going as large as a 75 you might want to look into a sump and then look for a skimmer that will fit for it. They arent difficult on either aspect hob or in sump.

Look into a reef octopus 1000 or 2000 hob

+1 on the RO BH2000 HOB

It is a very good skimmer for a HOB and easy to setup and adjust. It also has a surface skim attachment for the intake that works ok if adjusted properly but in order for that to happen you will have to keep your water level consistent.
