    Default Protein Skimmer Info

    Hi,

    I'm ready to add a skimmer to my 37 gallon 30X12X22 reef tank.
    It has to be a HOT unit and i can spend up to $200
    Anybody have suggestions

    I'm running the Reef Octopus BH-1000 on my 26g Awesome skimmer for sure! Especially love the external pump, very quiet. At $189 can't beat it's preformance. Only MOD I suggest if you do choose this one is a Pre-skimmer box like this. It does an excellent job on surface skimming. @binford4000 made it for me

    Simple really-lol. Just waited for the ATO to kick on and when it reached it's max level adjusted the skimmer box to match. This pic shows the lowest point, ATO kicks on an the box fills
