There seems to be an enormous amount of controversy over skimmers... which ones are best, do you need them, etc
I cant help solve the problem yet, but Im working on it!
I have a 20 gal tank running with about 10 pounds LR, an AquaClear HOB filter, a powerhead, 4 small fishes, one cleaner shrimp, 3 feather dusters, about 10 hermits, and 8 snails.
I do 5% water changes once a week and top offs every other day.
Everyone is happy and healthy… but the water could be a little clearer.
I bought and installed a skimmer today. It’s a Red Sea Prizm for up to 100 gal tanks.
The skimmer seems to be total overkill for my little system and there don’t appear to be any other options available for smaller systems. Are there others out there with similar system set ups running without the skimmer? What if I buy more LR?
Thanks in advance for your help!
