Protein skimmer

[29 Bio cube]

I have a 29 gallon bio cube. See a lot of mixed answers,having one and not having one any thoughts? On a protein skimmer?
Thanks Robert

Welcome to Reef2Reef! IMO a 29g all-in-one is in a gray area. Level of feeding/bio-load and frequency of water changes may impact decision.

Welcome to R2R! I would pass on the Skimmer for a tank that size. Most of the skimmers for Nano Tanks don't work that great. Stick with water changes.

Hello and welcome to the channel.

Welcome Robert! Protein skimmers are a good thing to have. Not just for nitrates but for gas exchange and Ph levels too. I wouldn't tell someone not to get one.

Welcome! It depends on a lot.. I took one of a small 20 gallon tank because it just wasn't worth the space it took up. I did however have a strict water change schedule as well as plenty of oxygen exchange. PH stayed around 8.3.

Howdy. Welcome to R2R. Agree with above. If you decide to use a skimmer, I like LifeReef.

Welcome and have fun! lots of great folks and resources here. As for an AIO and skimmer - i have an rsm130 and found the skimmer to be hit or miss with lots of fiddling. Like others i stick to water changes now but YMMV.
