What would be a better addition to my 75 gal fowlr. More circulation (currently have 1-900 gph power head and return flow from sump tank) or a protien skimmer?
Sniperhank said:That is a question that could use more background info on the tank. Adding both more circulation and a skimmer are usually more concerning for reef tanks. Why do you feel you need them? Is there a reason you think you need more flow? How about water, is there something in there that needs more pristine water?
Sniperhank said:If that is the case, then I would add circulation. Soft corals tend to like a "dirtier" water. If you move toward LPS, I would then look into a skimmer. How are the duncans doing? Mine have been thriving since I have them almost directly into the flow from my 750.

Sniperhank said:Check out RO/DI units from purewaterclub.com. You can find their units on ebay as well. 5-6 stage units for ~100 bucks if i remember correctly.
