My skimmer

[musho3210]

Well for my nano im going for an aquac remora skimmer, one question, could i get the 55 gallon model instead of the 20 gallon model and turn off the 55 gallon model at night and turn it on during the day? I want good skimming but skimmers can be loud and the tank is in my room. There only 30 dollars difference in price and i do plan on getting a 55 gallon reef tank one day anyway

Get the 55 g model, run it 24/7. FYI, anthony calfo stated that he was getting a few cups of skimmate DAILY out of a 240 with no fish... I think that proves that your in no danger of over skimming.

ok, i'll check it out and see if i can stand the noise

i have a remora pro with a much larger pump, aka, a lot noisier, and it isnt very load at all.
it is right next to my bed (or was before i got my deltec) and i had no problems whatsoever. my coralife super skimmer is quieter, however.
but yes, definatly get the largest one you can get. at least, that is my opinion. lol

ok, 30 dollars isnt much anyway

I agree. I really don't believe there is such thing as over-filtration or over-skimming.

I really enjoy reading Anthony Calfo's stuff. Was the above in one of his books or on wetwebmedia or...?
