Recommended Posts

Hi,

Been thinking of getting a better skimmer. Currently using a Dymaz LS 10. At most get kopi water nia.

2 question:

1. If I am to overkill ie: get a skimmer for 200L would it be good or bad for the tank or just waste of money?

2. any reccomandation: my tank is 40 litre n sump ard 50-60 litre. I prefer n insump skimmer n since my sump is a trash bin ie vertical, water level can be high. Budget best is up to $300 but willin to go to $500 for a really good one time investment.

Thx in advance

Depending on brand, i like to go 2 times my tank size. If your tank is about 100L, get one rated for 200L. But take note as some skimmers giving rating according to bioload. Get the one rated for 200L with heavy bioload

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

lol just installed it today after giving it a good washing with warm water. so far so good :)

woah 7 times! thats alot. I wonder if overkill by too much, will it skims out any good stuff?

Should be ok i guess. so far havent read anything or heard anything bad about overkilling 7 times hehe. henry was suggesting to me earlier that after the skimmer has run in, i can consider having it on timer. for example: 1 hr after feeding run for 8 hours.
