[lauterbrunnen]

Thanks all for the reply and sorry for not specifying that I need HOB. Now looking at Reef Octopus BH 1000 Hang

on Back Protein Skimmer. Where to buy this and how much?

Btw, I also saw WeiPro at Ah Beng shop at 68$ only.. Should I consider it?

U can go iwarna to buy.

if im not wrong, i saw it on freshnmarine website

Don't waste your money on a Weipro. Reef Octopus BH 1000 is a much better choice.

Hi Guys,

After doing some research on the BH-1000 I found out that it's an overkill for my 2 ft tank (20 gallons). Some sites say that over skimming is also not good because it will take away the nutrients needed by the corals.

I tried looking for the smaller version BH-100 but looks like it's not available anymore. Is there an alternative brand that you guys can recommend? I think Deltec is out of my budget . What I'm thinking is if I go with the BH-1000 I'll just run it with a timer running 8 hrs per day. Is that a good idea?

there is no such thing as overskim...this has been a talking point for years...and there are no evidence to proof.

just go with BH-1000...i'm using this for my 2.5ft...
