Hello All,
I have had my reef tank for about 5 years, First it was in a 24g bio cube, Upgraded to a 36g Bowfront (Broke during a move...) then up to a 40g. Now I have finally gotten a tank I really like set up. (Found a REALLY awesome 90g for $40) And everything seems to be happy so far.
This tank was drilled; however, The holes were in REALLY odd places, and I do not currently have a sump set up, but I had picked up a pair of really nice SeaChem Tidal 110 HOBs (These filters have lots of room for Media, unlike most HOB) So I have set the tank up running two of them for filtration.
Now to the root of the issue. I have never ran a Skimmer on any of my Tank Setups, Mostly due to a combo of tank size and expense. Now I feel like I need to add a Skimmer with my current size, especially since I have picked up a few new corals. I was wondering if anyone had any luck at all with HOB skimmers? Are they worth it? Any advice would be appreciated.
