protein skimmer

I have a 24 Gal Aquatop AIO that has been up and running for about 8 months. My main form of nutrient export was a refugium but recently I've been noticing that my chaeto haven't been growing much. I'm a tad worried because despite getting zeroes on my nitrate/phosphate tests not having a lot of...

$225 shipped. Reef Octopus Classic 150INT 6” Internal Protein Skimmer. Brand new. Mint. Never used. Never wet. In original packaging and box. Opened for attached pics. I literally got it 4 days ago. If you're wondering, too big, too powerful for what I'm building. And , yeah, I'm that...

Hi! I have bought a Fluval sea mini protein skimmer for my Fluval evo 13.5, What sort of level should the bubbles come up to and how long should I have it on during the day?

Hello, Im selling a Deltec 1500 IX skimmer for $650 shipped or best offer. It was purchased brand new from Adam at Battle corals. It was only used for 2 months while I was waiting for my new skimmer and upgraded tank to be built. Feel free to text for faster response. Ruben- 707-372-8504 Thanks

Hey everyone, first time post here. Trying to decide on a skimmer for my JBJ45. I tried the tunze 9004 and just don't like it. First were the micro bubbles and couldn't get em to stop. Tried again moving to a different chamber in the filter, but hate how the cup just comes right off if touched...

I’m looking to purchase a new skimmer for my Waterbox 130.4. My current Nyos skimmer has given me fits for the past year. Can’t get it adjusted right. Main issue is it’s constantly overflowing into sump. I’ve raised/lowered and adjusted constantly. So, I’m looking at the BM Curve 7 or the RO...

What's up everyone! I had a nano reef Biocube 14 gallon back in college but now that I am settled (& have more cash) I am getting back into the hobby! I am by no means an expert so all constructive criticism and advise is welcome. There isn't much material out there regarding the Waterbox 50.3...

Hi Guys, Ive kept freshwater and marine tanks before, going to try my hand at a brackish one now. In your experience, what is the minimum salinity in which a protein skimmer becomes effective? Thanks.

Hello, I just went through a round of chemiclean to battle some cyano. First off, let me say that I'm blown away with how that worked. I did 1 treatment, and it's completely gone. Might do a second treatment if I see anything creep back, but 1 treatment and it's gone. Here's my question. My...

Name says it all. Looking for $60 plus shipping. Works great.

I recently got this protein skimmer. It is the coral life medium size. Got it set up, finally broken in and skimming great. It is set up as a hang on as I do not have a sump. The problem is the in take motor tube keep falling off, thus spewing water all over my living room. It has happened...

So after over a year I finally got around to cleaning the Reef Octopus VarioS 6 on my skimmer since it'd been doing poorly as of late. The impeller was cram packed with chaeto (no surprise since the refugium has been producing 3lbs or so of chaeto every few weeks) so I carefully removed the...

I have a Red Sea 170, i bought the octo Essence 130 protein skimmer for my sump. The water height at the baffle in the sump is just under 7.5 inches. I added a baffle with holes to split the sump and have a refugium on one side. Is 7.5 inches a good water height for this specific skimmer? Or...

My wife got me a coralife protein skimmer for Christmas. How much air should I allow into the skimmer? I’m not sure how many bubbles are too many. I’ve got the air dialed all the way back right now until I figure out how far to let it open. I had the same skimmer on my older biocube and it was...

Hello Reefers, I’m selling this used NF-1 Skimmer. It’s really good but produces microbubbles in my Nuvo 10 due to the aquarium depth. This would be great on any bigger/deeper tank. Had it for about 3 months on and off. This is the latest model. Pick up only for $40.

I'm quite new to saltwater and tanks in general my family has always had tanks off and on and we live in hawaii so I know a lot but there's some technical issues that im having since this is my first personal saltwater aquarium. I'm on month 2 or 3 of cycling I have a 75 gallon FOWLR tank...

I have a couple of pieces of equipment that are a bit aged but have never been used. These were purchased as part of a 75 gallon mixed reef that never ended up happening, and I'm now working on a Waterbox 20 cube that won't have a need for either. Both are available for local pick-up in the...
