skimmer advise

I'm looking for some input on adding a skimmer to my 150G tank. It probably needs to be an external skimmer. I just don't have the room in my sump to add an internal one. (On a side note, why are external skimmers more expensive then internal ones? And that's before you even factor the return...

Greetings I recently purchased a Terminator II skimmer WITHOUT the recirculating/venturi pump. For the few dollars invested, the fact that a pump was needed seemed insignificant. Now that I have the skimmer, (it's LARGE) I can't place it in my sump, (too cramped) and am now faced with...

I have a tmc v2 400 skimmer that hangs on the back of my tank and the return is throw a bubble stop sponge but they are not stopping . It was working fine until I cleaned the skimmer out and changed the sponge. Is there a way to stop this from happening :mad:

First post, here it goes. Just switched over from a 29g tank that ran for over a year, to a 40 breeder with a 20g sump. I moved about 20lbs of LR and about 10lbs of Live Sand to the new tank, and added about 30lbs of dry reefsaver rock from BulkReefSupply, and another 15 or so lbs of new Live...

Hey Everyone, I'm just starting out a new saltwater tank. Going to be a mixed reef tank. So far I've got a 90g display with a 55 sump. Going to get the display drilled out hopefully within the week. I've been looking at skimmers recently and was thinking of building one. Was wondering if...

So I was told that I no longer needed to run my canister filter on my tank. I am going to use just the power heads for water movement, protein skimmer and live rock for cleaning tools. My question is will this be alright for a fish only 125 gallon tank? Should I keep one of the hang on bio wheel...
