Skimmer Recommendation for Nuvo 38 Gallon

danielsme · 08/09/2013, 08:26 PM

HELP! I am very new to the hobby and super green. I am in the process of setting up a 38 Gallon Reef Tank. I have the Innovative Marine 38 gallon tank. I have been doing research but as with anything I am getting conflicting information. I have read so many blogs and forums that my eyes are burning...so I thought why not just ask the question...
What type of Protein Skimmer should I get? I have called a few LFS and it ranges from Coralife, the Remora Pro, Urchin...I have even be told since I have a nano just do weekly water changes....so any help, advice would greatly be appreciated....trying to do this right the first time! Thanks

Great choice. That's what I went with for my 38. It's perfect. You won't see it and works awesome! Keep in mind just in case this happens to you also, I had micro bubbles for a good 3-4 weeks. Was really contemplating on getting rid of it and going another route but it finally stopped and glad I did. Very quiet.
