I had finally decided to get a CPR Bak-Pak Skimmer for my 40 Gallon Breeder set up. It will start out as a FOWLR (40lbs of live rock), with the hopes of turning into a Reef as time (and money) permits.
Now I find that there are 2 versions, the Bak-Pak 2 and the Bak-Pak 2R Which one would be better for my setup? I think the Bio Bale would provide a nice "added safety" to the tank, until a have a lot more Live Rock, as then I wouldn't really needed the Bio-Bale aspect.
To me, the 2R looks like a Bak-Pak 2, just without the Bio-Bale. I was wondering if I got the Bak-Pak 2, could I just take out the Bio-Bale as the reef is created as not have a high Nitrate levels? Would the skimmer action still work?
Getting down to the wire for ordering my parts...and I want to do the right thing the first time around.
Thanks!
