HOB Protein Skimmer and HOB Filter

Hey guys,

So I am currently running a 29g FOWLR tank (with the exception of a small amount of GSP) with a AquaClear 50 HOB filter. I plan on upgrading to a 75 gallon FOWLR in a few months. Ive done some research on protein skimmers (and that they are not necessary but highly recommended) so I plan on getting one for my upgraded tank. My question is since I will have the protein skimmer to help with filtration is an AquaClear 50 enough filtration in partner with the protein skimmer? I understand my HOB filter is only up to 50 g but I figured Id ask if that is enough.

Thanks!

Kevin

I use both on my 90 gallon. Keeping the filter is nice for cleaning the surface, filter floss or carbon/chempure if needed

Missed the last part of your question. It should be fine. You're not using it for major export.

i would probably try some more filteration than that for a 75. you might want to try a sump or some type of really strong canister or HOB. sump is really recomended though. ik its exensive but still worth it.
