I dont know much about this hobby yet, but a protein skimmer is so important!!! it costs me alot of money in dead fish!

 

[BOD]

But if im not putting anything in there I dont need it just yet..... thats all im saying....plus anyways for some small tanks Ive told you dont need a protein skimmer.

 

[andywg]

A skimmer is not deemed as necessary on a smaller tank as water changes do not cost as much. Onlarger tanks water changes become very expenisve and as such are (ideally) kept to a minimum. It's cheaper to remove the cup on the skimmer than to change 40 gallons of SW.

IT also dpends on the type of tank. Some reef tanks do better with smaller (or no) skimmer. FOWLR really does need a skimemr to get rid of the waste.

I spent roughly £400 last night

so just a little shopping trip then

I dont even bother telling her indoors what I spend nowadays - she thinks that my latest couple of SPS cost me a 10.00 for the 3 if only she knew

[BOD]

haha....yea i thought might as well just get most of it out the way no point trying to spread the cost out..just blow it in one go lol!!!

Think of the clothes i could have bought

 

[BOD]

Well whilst we are on the protein skimmer subject i was thinking og getting a red sea prizm skimmer. good or not?

 

[SkiFletch]

Meh, they're middle of the road. They function pretty well, but many reviews I've read on them say that they dont pull all that much gunk.

red sea prizm skimmer

What size of tank we speaking about again

 

[BOD]

35 Gallons

the prizm skimmer worked awesome for me.


I got the deluxe model and i love it. I read so much reviews about it being loud and not pulling that much stuff out but to me it was so quiet and got a lot of stuff out. Tank looks nice and clean everyday now. I'm using it on a 55G, so i think it would do even better on a 35G.
