hi everyone, i have a 35 gallon tank and i’m searching for my first protein skimmer. ive seen alot on amazon but im a little hesitant to just choose any. any good recommendations? i have 2 corals, 1 soft coral and 1 lps, 2 clowns a blenny and a fire fish. i would prefer an all in 1 system, bht would i maybe not even need one with a tank this size? any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

What type of tank? Do you have size or space limitations? Is it going in a sump or AIO chambers.
 
I use the IOAOI Nano Protein Skimmer for Saltwater Aquariums, DC Pinwheel Pump for 30 Gals Fish Tank, Hang On, Internal, Not for Rimmed Tank. It’s $60 on Amazon. It’s a little fussy to adjust but the price is right. From what I’ve read, most of the nano sized skimmers are trickier to dial in and keep dialed in.

I used this in the back pump chamber of a Fluval Flex 32.5 gallon AIO tank.

I use it on my 10gal…
Bit pricey, it is made in Germany but it keeps on working….
