Is anyone running/ has anyone run an ISTA multi-surface skimmer? I don't have an overflow (cannister). I'm looking for low budget suggestions to clean up my flotsam slick.

Thanks in advance.
 
I just use a tidal HoB filter with surface skimmer. Keep a sponge and floss in there usually. With option to add carbon if needed.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's certainly more accessible than the cannister for adding carbon, GFO, etc. Is it quiet? I see it has a Sicce pump.

Quiet enough, easy maintenance
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
