Which protein skimmers do you guys recomend?

 

[daugherty]

i have the octo 800s it is a great skimmer that is an HOB it is overkill for your tank but i guess you can never have to big of a skimmer

 

[thunderbay]

Will a six line wrasse eat peppermint shrimp or banded coral shrimp?

 

[daugherty]

my father-in-law had a problem with his six line eating his inverts

 

[Bifferwine]

Usually sixline won't eat anything they shouldn't. 99% of the time they are reef safe.

Check out Octopus brand skimmers.

Funny Biff. Your avatar. Should we change ours to monkeys now. :lol:

 

[thunderbay]

What about the Coralife Super Skimmer 65?

 

[yote]

While the Super Skimmer would be alright on your tank.You can get a whole lot better skimmer for the same money if you get an Octopus.
But if you plan on a sump,Then I'd suggest this skimmer.E.T.S.S. Reef Devil Protein Skimmer with Pump - AquaCave

 

[dcantucson]

I agree with Reef Octopus. I recently got one and I have loved its performance. It's a good brand.
