I am new to keeping a salt tank so I am still learning the terms for most of the supplies needed to help my tank thrive. Currently I do not have a protein skimmer and am looking to purchase one from reef octopus as it seems to harbor the best reviews online.
I am stuck between the 110EXT 4" recirculating and the 110INT 4" Internal protein skimmer. There are no comparisons online that have given me enough information to truly know the difference between the two, so I would like to see what the fish community would recommend for my tank:
Current tank is 40 gallons with a snowflake eel, valentini puffer, and a niger trigger, and will soon be upgrading to an 80 gallon. Equipment in use includes: Magniflow 220 canister filter, and a UV sterilizer.
The ultimate goal of this thread is to gain more knowledge of the skimmers I've listed to ensure I purchase the best one for my tank, but I am also excited to learn as much as I can about the hobby, so please feel free to provide insight and products suggestions!
