I would not bother with a skimmer for a tank that size just do a good water change every week ie 5% weekly. Twiggy

friend has a tank just like that, it has a prism(dont laugh) skimmer
on it which seems to pull some amount of rubbish out......buts its one noisy sod like my skimmer lol

Thanks

I have a red sea Prizm on an Orca 550. (Cut the back out) It's a bit pants & was £20 from Poz1966 but I can now fit others on if I want.

I used the red sea wait for it deluxe skimmer on my first tank did the job at first as i didnt want to throw loads of money at the hobby if i couldnt keep up with the hobby

Very bloody noisy

funny that we are talking about the red sea prisim,
fella in my work just bought one.putting a air tap
on them seems to make them work better.I recently
upgraded to a deltec mce600(means when I upgrade I dont neeed a new skimmer)
I got mine on gumtree cheap, worth keeping an
eye out there for skimmers.

a small deltec nano skimmer would be a better bet, the v2 120 wouldn't be a good choice IMO.

[DSheard]

What about the BOYU anyone have objections? is the deltac good and small enough for a nano? Im so confused as my tank is a starter and everyones like "**** a skimmer just do water changes" ahahahhaha Im too paranoid to leave out a skimmer xD

my skimmers so big if it wasn't pulling 3500ltr of water through an hour i could use it as a nano tank, haha. i got a aquamedic shorty 2,
