Hey People!
Just have a quick opinionated question for all you SWF enthusiasts. I am relatively new to this hobby, (although I have had an established tank previously), I have just finished my first set up and I am just about to add the finishing touches (i.e. live rock, substrate, etc.). I want to purchase a protein skimmer. I have a 55 ga tank, a power filter, uv sterilizer and necessary pumps and appurtances. It is going to be a FOWLER tank with limited corals and such. The lighting I believe is accurate (2 dble lamp T5's with blue actinic lamps) and I want to complete my set up with a skimmer. In no way do I want to slam any one manufacturer but advice from hobbiest's who have been there have more merit than what an LFS tries to sell the public. With so many options and manufacturers which to choose from is mind boggling. I am in the market for a great working but affordable skimmer.
So that being said: In YOUR OPINIONS, what are/is the best products out there to use on ths size of aquarium?
Thanks to all who reply with YOUR opinions....
