sumpless protein skimmer

[scottduncan1234]

Hi all,
I'm running into a wall with protein skimmers :mad2:- any recommendations for a hang on/submersible or outside of tank? - I've dug through the forum and finding old solutions from years ago...are there new skimmers that I just haven't stumbled across?

Tank: Juwel vision 450 liter tank (120 US gallons)
Filter acting as charcoal/GFO/ceramic reactor: Penn plax cascade 1500 gph canister filter
5 - 800 gph power heads
(Tank turnover: 5500 gph / 45 x per hour)
3 - AQUATOP 200w heaters
2 - AQUAMANA LED-60x3W Dimmable 180W Blue/White LED
DIY plexiglass top to house lights, slow evaporation
Deep sand bed
DIY dry & live rock
No :fish1: ...yet

That would be my choice for a HOB skimmer for your size tank.

Here's another option, Reef Octopus is a great brand. BH 2000 - http://www.saltwateraquarium.com/pr...-w-external-2000-pump-rated-upto-125-gal.html

^This would be the one that I would consider. There are a couple of guys here locally that use the HOB1 by Aquamaxx and love it.
