I have a 55g brackish tank which will eventually be turned into marine as the fish get older. Right now salinity is aprox 1.006~1.008 and slowly rising every week about 1 thou. I have seen prices ranging from 40 bucks to 500 bucks for skimmers and different styles. So far planned is a FO tank as i am not sure what else to put in with columbian sharks, monos, and scats. Eventually I would likely be going to a larger tank so I would like to purchase things slowly and as $ permits. Every shop i have been to has said aprox $2000 to convert a 55 to marine.
So basically
1. What skimmers recommended
2. What else in order of importance should i research/budget on?
