I am shopping for a new protein skimmer for my 54G. It is a corner bow, so space is always an issue....can anyone give me some opinions on some skimmers..here are a few I found...
Eshopps Hang-On Protein Skimmer
Turboflotor Blue 1000
HMMM...all I found so far...was those 2...

I take it you are not running a sump under your 54g?
NOPE....I was kinda lokking at that, but decided since it is such an odd sized cabinet I will stick with the filter I have and just get another protein skimmer
I'll tell you this though....If I oculd fit one, I would get the sealife series liek I have for the 225G...it came with overflow and a protein skimemr that I love
BUTTTT...no room...so I just want to stick with the hob

I also have a 54g corner. I fit a sump, corallife skimmer(hate it), fuge, and a media filter. All store bought nothing customized. But I must say if it is not in there just perfict the door will not close.

I have heard good things about the Aqua C Ramora. I have one on the way for my 10 gal. (soon to be turned into a 20 gal.). They are kind of like a plug and play. Hang it on, turn it on and go.

The Aqua C Remora w/1200...looks ok...I have a dumb question....lol
it says it is 17.5 inches 2.75 inches 6 inches...so the size is not an issue
BUT.....you cna buy one with a "drain system"
or without
what is a drain system? I have not yet found an explanation for it

I just started using a octo 800s a couple days ago, i think it's gonna be scary good when the new gets worn off.The only thing i have to compare to is a Prism though.

HMM...That's a lot bigger than what I need...
Does anyone have any experience with the Octo BH 100, or the BH100SS (with surface skimmer)??
Buying a protein skimmer is hard ...lol

I'm also looking into a skimmer for a new setup. Anyone know anything about the Jebo 180 hang on? Apparently it is good for up to 150 and I'm thinking of going with a 75 reef setup.
