I'm setting up a 20g RR Oceanic tank as a second tank - independent of my 75g. Consequently, it'll need its own skimmer. I'm planning on a sump - 10 to 15 gallon range - chambered so there will be a refugium in there as well.
Now, I know skimmers - of good quality are few to choose from for a tank setup this size. I prefer having the skimmer in the sump. I think an Aqua C Urchin appears to be the best candidate but I do not know:
1. If it is the best option for a 20 g - are there others out there?
2. How much work is to maintain an Aqua C Urchin - since they use spray injection, would nozzles require frequent cleaning
3. Foam production - does it need ot be dialed in? I know Aqua C promotes just drop in and go but is it really so?
Thanks for your input.
