-What skimmer do you run, and what made you choose that particular skimmer?

-How does your skimmer perform? Any advantages(eg. low phosphates) or drawbacks(eg. microbubbles)?

-How much skimmate does it pull out - daily/weekly?

Post your set-ups!
 
i had a pryzm pro on my old 20g it took a while before the micro bubbles quit compleatly but with the media basket full of floss it wasnt bad at all,it skimmed ok if adjusted almost daily the surface skimmer kept that ugly film off the top of the water ,and
 
OK, so 1 vote for a Prizm.......who else is running what?

Anyone running a CSS, Bak-pak, or Odyssea skimmer on their 20's?
 
I have a CSS 65.. great skimmer for the money! I ran one on a 20 for a while and it did fine.. only drawback was the size of the pump in the main. If you can run a sump i'd suggest it.. more water volume and gets the skimmer out of the main.
 
Thank you Neilster! I've heard about the real estate it takes up.

C'mon guys. Anyone running a skimmer'less' reef?
 
i have a 20 and i run an aqua c remora. there are some microbubbles, but they are supposed to go way after it breaks in, which i havent had it long, so..... it barely takes up any space, which is nice for a 20. it seems to be a very good skimmer so far. i would reccommend it.
