surface debri

[j-spot]

What is the best way to clean the surface of the water of floating debri?

get a filter that gets tank water from an overflow box... the surface water flows over the lip of the box, gets redissolved (so its not floating) and is then sucked out of the box and filtered.

What kind of filter would you suggest? I presently am using a Cascade filter system. Can this be modified in any way?

Or get a protein skimmer and make sure you have good surface agitation to break up the fil and push it back into the water column so the filter and skimmer can pick it up. I had to make a decision between hob device and running it back in through the filter, but the skimmer gave me more bang for the buck at removing more junk and not loading up a filter...Try a coralife super skimmer...good bang for the buck
