What Skimmer to Use?

[GalanteD]

Hi all,

Can any kind soul please advise me on what will be a good skimmer to get for my 2Ft x 1.5Ft x 1Ft Tank with only Live Rocks and 5 Fishes? I do not have or plan to get a sump.

Thanks for any replies in advance!

Cheers!

Welcome to the sgreefclub.

you could consider getting a hang-on skimmer. An easy to find brand is the Weipro series and the smallest skimmer in that range is the SA-2011 model, they're venturi type.

I've found that pressurized pumps works best with this skimmer, do go for one rated at least 1000l/h.

Welcome to the hobby!!!

A Hang-on Redsea Prizm will work very well for your tank Since you are new, perhaps an all-in-one skimmer will give you less headache

All the best!!!

Does the redsea hang-on prizm behaves as a skimmer as well as a filter?

Or do we need to purchase them separately?

i used to have a prizm hang on skimmer and a eheim liberty running at the same time for a small shallow reef tank in the past.

have some qns regarding the weipro 2011.

from what i read, the way it works is by getting a pump which pump water into the skimmer right? but how big will a pump of 1300l/hr be? do we still need to diy pipings from the pump to the skimmer?

a weipro 2011 will be suitable for what range of tank size?
