protein skimmer

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...

Hi everyone! Need help as this is my first skimmer. Does this seem to be a good height for the bubbles in the return chamber? Too high? When I raise it up, I seem to get large bubbles rising instead of micro bubbles

Just wondering what would be a better choice: The Tunze 9001 skimmer or the InTank refugium with chaeto and a growlight. Either way, I already have the InTank media basket. I've heard mixed opinions so I'm looking for advice. Let me know!

CoralVue BH-1000 hang on back protein skimmer with pump on the outside so it doesn't add heat to the water. This thing has worked great on my 55g reef tank over the last year but I am upgrading to a bigger tank and no longer need this. The AutoAqua skimmer shutoff has saved my floors many...
