Your thoughts on Aqua C Urchin Skimmers?
I have a 30-gallon reef tank and I've done a little research on which would
be the best protein skimmers. Would you all recommend the Aqua C Urchin? It seems to be a pretty good skimmer for the money and it seems very easy to install. Do you guys know of any drawbacks to this skimmer? Many Thanks! Maddie

"Cindy" wrote in message news:TJPZc.16174 Which ones are efficient? Depending on your tank size and how much inhabitant waste and feeding. You need to take in those account on which PS will do the min. job. I use Euro-Reef CS8-1 to take care of my 100USG. I would have gone higher but budget set in. My PS now idling and waiting for mishap or overfeeding by someone. The following is IMHO AquaC Remera should be ok on a 40USG but better to get bigger PS. AquaC EV120 or 180 for 55-75USG and again, a bigger PS will alway be better. What is not efficient is when 75USG with AquaC Remora. It will do the job but will take longer time. CapFusion,...

I have one, and I like it. Pay a little extra and get the Maxijet
replacement for the Rio. "maddie" wrote in message ... I have a 30-gallon reef tank and I've done a little research on which would be the best protein skimmers.
