I’m gonna be setting up a 65g with a 20 long as a sump using the fiji cube diy kit sold on BRS. When it comes time for a skimmer after cycling, what should I go with?

Yeah....and that cost, cant be beat and will stay with you when you go bigger tank lolReef Octopus has a great skimmer.
I’m definitely considering this one, it never hurts to have extra filtration on a reef tank rightdepends on your budget.....

You dont really want to oversize the skimmer. Used to be a thing but people realized it was just inefficient and sometimes the bubbles couldnt get to the top because the neck was too wide.I’m definitely considering this one, it never hurts to have extra filtration on a reef tank right
Ah okay gotcha, any specific sites to look out for in terms of sales?You dont really want to oversize the skimmer. Used to be a thing but people realized it was just inefficient and sometimes the bubbles couldnt get to the top because the neck was too wide.
There are so many skimmers on the market nowadays its hard to decide on the low to mid tier needlewheel skimmers. Reef octopus is always great as are most skimmers using a sicce pump
Top end of these would be an ultra reef skimmer.
I would probably wait on a good sale to buy anything as you are only just setting up the tank and the protein skimmer wont be that useful right now
Icecap K3 100 looks good for your needs and $90 cheaper. Havent used before but I was considering it. I have a Bubble Magus K5 Slim and was impressed with the skimming but did not like the noise, it was kind of a pain to empty, and no DC functionality which I think is a major bonus.Ah okay gotcha, any specific sites to look out for in terms of sales?
Premium aquatics, bulkreefsupply, etc there are a lot of sponsors on here too that will post about salesAh okay gotcha, any specific sites to look out for in terms of sales?
just how you wrote the message. I see you enough on here to know you that you know your stuff.Not sure what's funny but I often miss the humor. These are two with no skimmer
I guess it was kind of random and off topic loljust how you wrote the message. I see you enough on here to know you that you know your stuff.
