Hello,
I have been out of the hobby for 10 years now, and am now just getting ready to restart sometime in late summer.
My Questions are these, Skimmers were big 10 years ago, and I read they still are the norm, what kind are recommended.
Skilters and UV filters were new and too expensive to use then. How important are they and what do they do also what kinds are recommended. I have been reading up for the last month on all the new advances, but have not looked into these much. Also if there are any real good books on them, there jobs, and benefits.
I Know this probably sounds like a newbie question, but I want to start out right, with all the newest and best equipment and. If these means getting stupid look at the pet stores, I am willing to bear it.
Thanks
Bob

From what I understand, you don't ever want a Skilter, and you don't ever want a RIO powerhead/pump.
Tough to make recommendations when you weren't too specific as to your plans about getting back into the hobby.
