Hey all. I've been a bit busy the last week or so, and haven't had a chance to come and post anything. My g/f and I just ordered up a nice 50 lbs batch of LR!! I can't wait to get it, and get it setup!! Should look great in our tank (fill up the space a little bit!:^:).
Anyway, I'm ready to get serious about a protein skimmer now. I've decided I think I'm going to pick up either the Octopus DBH-300, or the DBH-300f. I'm just looking for suggestions on each skimmer, or pro's and con's to each?
Also. We have a 90 gallon tank, with 2 Emperor 400 filters on the back, which doesn't leave a whole lot of room for a skimmer. I'm thinking I could mount the skimmer to the side of our tank....or is that not such a good idea?
Now...if it's ok to have the skimmer on the side I have another issue....Lighting. I'm hoping to get the Nova Extreme Pro. From the pictures I have seen, the supports cover the whole side (acrossed the top). How is that going to effect the skimmer? Can I mount the skimmer over the supports for the light?
Hopefully this this all makes scence...it's been a long day. I'll get a picture to show what I mean if need be. :Cheers:
Thanks in advance!
