which protein skimmer?

[crazy4reefs]

I have a 20 gallon tall tank and I am trying to figure out which protein skimmer to go with. the first one is-AquaC Nano Remora Protein Skimmer with a maxi jet 900 pump or- AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer with Maxi-Jet 1200 Pump if I go with this one I also would like to get the AquaC Remora Pre-skimmer For Maxi-Jet 1200 but I just do not know if the pre skimmer will look to big for my tank when its set up inside the tank.
I would appreciate any help, thanks

i wouldn't use any protein skimmer on a 20 gallon tank.
meanwhile, the preskimmer box, if you are going to use that, is huge. it's probably 3" thick, and about 6"x 8" tall and wide. these aren't exact measurements, but i put one in a 30 cube, and it took up way too much space.

I originall didnt want to use one on my tank but from what I read and what I was told everyone said to use a protein skimmer. thanks for the info Mr.X!

I would go with the Aqua C Remora without the pre skimmer. It is a great HOB model that you can use even if you upgrade to a bigger tank. The pre skimmer is difficult because you have to keep your water levels exact in order for it to work properly.

just keep up with regular waterchanges and watch your feeding, and you'll be fine.
