Hi all, I am days away from setting up a sump for my 29 gallon reef tank. I need to select a proper skimmer. I want to select a large skimmer that I could use if & when I upgrade to a larger tank (like 75 gallon). Would a Reef Octopus 110INT 4" be sufficient? If I got a slightly oversized...

This sump came with the tank when I got it and I know nothing about it. It measures 24x14x16 and has a fuge area built in. The reason Im asking is that I may need to baffle the skimmer/return area if the micro bubbles dont calm down. There are premade notches for baffles on that side, which I...

I've been putting together the pieces for a 120G reef tank with a 40G sump for the past 3 months. Rock has been cooking that long, Sump is built and tested with dual skimmers. Stand has been refinished and sump placed in lower section. Rear of 24x24x48 tank drilled for twin 1.5" overflows and a...

I finally set up the beckett skimmer I got from Jaim. It's still breaking in, but I'm confident that it's going to work well. I'm loving all this freed up sump space! This is what an in sump skimmer looks like when it hasn't been cleaned in a couple years... And finally a crappy FTS...

I just recently purchased a new tank (new to me that is) and it came as a reef ready setup with sump and in sump skimmer. The tank is a 72 bow front. I beleive the sump is a 29. I've never really been into running a sump and it worries me to have all of my electrical stuff right next to my sump...

What is the best skimmer for a 75G? Of course price does matter but what would be really good with a GREAT track record that does not need to be modded after getting it.

Scenario: in sump skimmer, would you rather have it process large amounts of water for a short time or a small amount for a long time. Would a recirc plummed to an overflow full bore do better/worse then cutting flow inhalf and why? I am sure it has to do with contact time but all rather...
