Protien skimmer

[dochoot]

I am researching setting up a 220 FOWLR with live sand :shock: . I was told that THE most important investment is getting a high end protien skimmer like the Aqua C EV 240 skimmer. What do you guys think?

Thanks :lol:

I agree that and lighting...

That skimmer is very good.
Are you planing on running it in sump?
What are your pump plans?

I was planning on running it in a sump. If I can fit it in, what do you think of me using a 90 gall. tank I already own? :idea: Too big? It can not be drilled in for stuff in the sides if that is important.

I was looking at an Iwaki 40RLXT or a Quiet One 5000.

Thanks. All input is appreciated. :)

would those pumps be deicated to just the skimmer or return also.

I assumed that I could use just one for both. :oops: I am in the very early planning stages. I sent away for a couple of books so hopefully my questions won't seem so basic in the future. What do you think of the sump idea?

Thanks :shock:

Well if you plan on using it for both then think LARGER......

Not really because of it depth....
