Hmmm....but that little Sanders Piccolo skimmer on my dinky 15 gall
along with all the gross water it gathers has totally convinced me that
a protein skimmer is an absolute essential - so in that way it has done
a great job without costing me as much as it might on a larger tank -
now I know when I go out and buy that larger tank (soon) that the
protein skimmer is an absolute essential and I won't baulk at the cost....
