Wow! I just realized, in all the videos I have been binging of Matt's learning about reefing, the tattoos! 🙏 Not that it's relevant, haha, but it just made me smile and know I'm in the right place for reefing knowledge. Thank you for all you do to teach us, Matt! You're the best! 😄
Hey Matt,
While you may not need a skimmer for nutrient control in all cases. I think it's super important just for oxygenation of the water, which benefits all reef tanks.
I got a Q-1 skimmer, but it's rated for 140g light, medium 110g and heavy to an 80g. I have a 40-gallon with a heavy bio Load full of fish and is a sps dominant tank. my phosphate is about 0.0 with heavy feeding every day. Love that video! it is Vere important to get right skimmer for the right job!! I wish I had this video a lot sooner. great work!! BRS
Doing a great job Matt 👍🏴
Excellent video.
Ty this made me as a first time looker and person who is sick of loosing fish and deadass feels like I’m trying like I do water changes everything and just lack of knowledge and accurate testing rates some finky species are just dying for me and this helps me understand how to keep my fish happy and healthy Ty imma def use that first hob skimmer Ty
Great info, Thank you
Reef octopus classic 150 is a beast of a protein skimmer for the price.
I MISS THIS GUY! Where did he go??? I started my saltwater journey with him and kgtropicals!
Tunze also makes a in tank protien skimmer
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just can’t fathom how expensive such a simple device can be.
Really helpful video, in a 600L tank with a filter roller and refugium I was trying to decide between the Redsea DC RSK 300 or 600 for a LPS dominant mixed reef tank, based on the aim smaller I’m thinking the 300 will be sufficent?
Hi, I know you posted this a while ago but I'm a new hobbyist running a 70 gallon tank with a very large 50 gallon sump(it's only about half full tho) and I'm running an icecap k130, is that too big then based on your video? Also, when you select a protein skimmer and they say something like "50-70 gallons" is that the display or the sump volume also you are going off of? I sized for my entire setup of 120 potential gallons..
Glasses, then no glasses, now glasses again
Just set up a nano tank (55L), wasn’t going to get a skimmer, appreciate anyones thoughts on if that’s ok?
How stinky should the skimmer cub be to know the biom is healthy ?
reef/coral with only sand sifters no fish 20 long tank? need a skimmer, yes or no we are rescuing corral from a private owner
You completely skipped a type of skimmer. Hint it doesn’t use a bubble plate or pull air in.
