As title states, I'm curious about protein skimmer options for a reefer 350.

Current stock list is as follows:
2 clownfish
1 Bicolor Blenny
1 Royal Gramma Basslet
1 Goby and Pistol shrimp pair
1 Foxface rabbitfish

I feed pellets in the morning and about 1/2 cube frozen in the evening.. so I think I'd fall in the light/medium bioload..

Any help would be appreciated thanks!
 
Everyone has their favorites and it's all a matter of which design you like and cost. Big things to keep in mind are how easy the cup is to remove, how accessible is body for cleaning, materials of high quality and how easy to dial in (at the price range you can afford). They all pretty much work as skimmers.

I'm a big fan of the Tunze 9410 DC.

No height adjustment as long an your in the range 5.5" to 9.5", you just drop it in and it works. Break in can take a week, though. Also it's Tunze so has all the support you need and designed to last. Dead quiet. Easy to remove cup.

It's not exactly pretty but in my opinion most of those curves and shapes and nozzles are as much about marketing as skimming efficiency. If you want a display sump though, it might matter more.
