Skimmer for 58 gal. W/ refugium

moocow · 01/21/2008, 12:11 PM

I've done some research on this topic over the last week.
Also researched the products themselves, and some how I still really don't know what to look for.

I'll be doing mostly polyps, soft corals, anems....easier corals.
I could do an "insump" skimmer or HOB skimmer. I don't really have any space requirements.
other than the tank i'm using as a refugium is only about 24" tall.
What brand should I be looking at?
which is good?

also skimmers are rated at GPH, what range should I be looking for?
thanks
