can anyone tell me if/what the differences are between a surface skimmer and/or a regular skimmer???
 
You mean the difference between a protein skimmer and a surface skimmer?
Surface skimmer is just like it sounds. It skims the surface of the water. Just like in a swimming pool. Get debris etc. that floats on the surface of the water. A protein skimmer uses foam/ air bubbles to remove proteins from the water.
 
ok thats what i thought, but some guy on ebay is making it sound like it was just as good as a protein skimmer.... had me confused :roll:
