Do I really need a DC skimmer? Is there really much of an advantage in using a skimmer with a DC pump as opposed to AC? I would imagine there may be some energy savings, but is the speed control really all that big of a deal? What other advantages are there?
I'm eyeing purchasing a larger skimmer, especially with Black Friday approaching. I have been looking at Skimz, Reef Octo, and Bubble Magus primarily, and all three have a DC option in the size range I need (actual water volume around 130g, light/med bio load now but that will be changing).
I'm just not sure what the DC option gives me.
