But with a 50 gal tank I always tell people that why not just do 5 gal water changes per week. really you aren't making any more head way on a 50 gal. Having a skimmer is only prolonging the water changes and helps in the assistnace of taking out the extra nutrients in the tank until you can do a water change.

But I would go with some thing on a top brand. from MY Experience. And believe me I have it ask any one hence the title under my username. and being from ST John's my self and living on 131 white a way street My Father was in the Forces.


how much do you feed now
where is the tank at ( some of the POC skimmers are loud.)

PM me your number and I will tell you what I think and what you can go for ok.

Well, byyyy, she's goin' just great , but more appropriately whaddyat? haha

I feed a couple times a day, mostly mysis (thank you, anthias). I'm running the NP biopellets and my tank is in my living room and, yes, I'm obsessive about noise.

Oh, and thanks for the link, asmodeus. What do you think of the same skimmer but the 120 model? Is it not enough?

I always Like to go double or triple with the skimmer sizes just so if you do need to pull nutrients out its done fast and not slow.. I like to have the power in my back pocket when I need it.
