I'm in the process of setting up a frag tank. It is 24"x24"x10" and I have a 29g under it for a sump/fuge. I plan on keeping mostly frags of SPS and zoas. I'd like to get some input on what skimmer would be good for this setup. I currently have a Coralife Superskimmer, but don't plan on using it. Probably going to look for something used. Thanks for any input.
 
you putting any fish in it? i would put a fish or 2 in it. you dont need a big skimmer for your tank cause your bio load will be low. on my 40b with 20g sump frag system i had, i used the crappy coralife 150g skimmer and it did its job. any skimmer rated for 100g will work just fine for you since you will have a low bioload.
 
Thanks. I will be putting in 1 or 2 fish. Maybe this should be my question: Which fish instead of which skimmer?
