Need Protien Skimmer

[codytbuckner]

My current skimmer crapped out on me. I'm need a new one. I have a 65B lightly stocked. Any recommendations?

Maybe a NYOS 120

Forgot to mention I have a $200-250 budget for now

If your tank is lightly stocked you might be able to just skip the protein skimmer for now and save up for what you really want skimmer wise.

Bubble Magus Curve 5 should be decent fit on the tank and budget.

Just add chaeto. I'm currently experimenting switching out my skimmer for chaeto on reverse lights. Looking at your setup, it should be doable.

Simplicity 120dc should do well for you and come in under budget

I love my skimmer (Curve 5 elite) but whenever I go into local shop, today included, I find great skimmers used, and they're typically way nicer than I would shell out new-money for.

Unfortunately I have to drive about an hour to find a LFS

I’ve heard the new Red Sea line of skimmers that use the sicce pump are good skimmers
