Protein Skimmer Advice

[galonso52]

I am still getting my feet wet with this hobby and I just started this year. I have a 54 gallon corner bow front with a 10 gallon sump. After doing a lot of reading now I know that I need a protein skimmer which brings me to another problem which one. Any advice would be greatly appreciately. I have been looking around and found a few but most are for over 100 gallon tanks and I wouldn't want to overkill it.:frustrat:

Overkill in skimmers is a good thing. My skimmer on my 180 is rated for over 300gallons.

It's pretty impossible to overkill on skimming. Most skimmers are actually overrated anyways. Your best bet is to get a skimmer rated for twice your tank size.

look into octo skimmers you can get them for about 200 and they are great.
