Protein skimmer ?

[newsalt16]

i found a JEBO protein skimmer are these good? It is supposed to do up to 150g but i only have a 54g is that too big? And the deal comes with a 650gph PH. Is that enough circulation for my tank? lots of questions i know. Thanks for the help

first ?
whats your budget?
whats your stock looking like?
due you plan on upgrading?
I'm sure you could find a better skimmer for your budget.
are you looking for Hang on Tank or an in sump model?

i could get this skimmer and the powerhead for $50. Thats pretty cheap.

not when you have to buy 3 in a year....
aqua-c used @ 75-125$
rated for 10 -125 g (nano - pro)

[newsalt16]

Ditto on the Aqua c,
one of the best skimmers for your $$..
Don't go too cheap on the skimmer, I did and
learned the hard way!

i am about to purchase a HOB skimmer for my new 55 gal. I am thinking aqua c or coral life super skimmer. i have owned an aqua c before, and i did like it, but hearing more and more good things about the coral life. I have a deltec on my 150 and like the needle wheel variety which the coral life is also.
