Skimmer?

misguided · 04/05/2006, 05:27 PM

What skimmer would you get for a 28 Gallon Acrylic Hexagon Tank?
Im thinking about the CSS 65 but im looking at the more expensive ones but they seem too expensive and big for what i need. I looked at the ER CS80 Or the AquaC EV120 but they seem a bit overkill.
Any ideas
Thanks

that would be a good choice but it's not a tiny skimmer ,it's normal size it's better off in the sump but can be a hang on, even though i think it's a hunk of junk you may want to try out a seaclone it might serve your purposes for your size tank. if you don't mind the room it's gonna take up with the bubble diffuser and pump in the tank get the css65 ,good luck

The aquaC is an energy hog, stick with a needlewheel. At that, a better choice might be the ASM G1 series. More bang for the buck.

okay let me be more specfic this skimmer is only going in a 5 1/2 gallon sump thats why i need a smaller skimmer...unless i put a 20 gallon sump on my nightstand next to the tank lol

ASM has a new mini...look at the link...

otherwise, the coralife is a good option.
