Hang on skimmer recommendation
I have a 55 gallon standard mixed reef. For filtration I have a penguin 350 hang on and I do 10-15% water changes weekly. The tank has been running with this filtration routine for 4 years and I would like to add a skimmer to the tank. What's your advice for a hang on skimmer that will perform well?

^^^Great skimmer. I'm using one on my 46g. I paid 259.00 at Reef Specialty about 2 months ago.

It seems like reef octo is the way to go. I was looking at their SRO in sump ones for my 125 awhile back.

I've seen all the aforementioned. Swc is the best imo.
