Protein Skimmer what do you think??

I was reading online about protein skimmers and I am wondering if it would be benificial for me to replace what I have got for one of these.

Right now my back middle section is running with cheato and lights, but I was reading an article that suggests that cheato is not an efficient enough nitrate reduction, so what do you think.

What size of tank is it??? I had that one and it was kinda loud so just a little heads up. Now i have a aqua c remor pro skimmer and it works great on a 55 gal tank...

I am running a 29g biocube, this particular skimmer is made specifically for the bc to fit in the back without modification, and it still allows the lid to close.

it's an excellent idea!!!
definately a very important part of keeping your nano reef stable

make sure you get the new one with the acclea pump, not the old one with the rio or maxi-jet pump, it would be worth it to call and make sure

you can also mesh mod the acclea pump on that skimmer for added performance, same as the maxi-jet
