Protein skimmer

[Wilkerson.reed]

I am upgrading soon to a 110 gallon aquarium and it has a sump and I want a good in sump skimmer but I just turned 15 and don't have a job yet so don't have a lot of money atm so what would be a good protein skimmer for a good price? Maybe a Black Friday deal or something? Happy thanksgiving to everyone btw!!

bubble magus curve series are cheap and pretty good... don't go too cheap and checkout bulk reef supply and marine depot for black friday deals!

Would this one be good? Or could I go with the in sump one that's not a cone and it be just as good? Is eshopps just as good as the bubble magus mentioned already? Or would I be better getting the bubble magus one? Or anything else? Thank you for a THE reply by the way!

I've only used the hang on back models from them and they work pretty well the only in sump I've used is the bubble magus mainly because i wanted to try a different brand but my old hugh school uses them and they're not bad.
watch this video and it should help you make a choice where i fail to explain.

That video helped! Thanks! In the video they mentioned the brand "Skimz" I found one on Craigslist but I'm not sure if it will support my size tank and sump with the fish I will get... here's the link? What do you think?

Stick to the used equipment forums until you have a job.
Selling Forum (dry goods)

You can run a search on the forum like this one to see posts with skimmers:

Craigslist might be a more-local source of used gear – I do recommend buying local when possible.

You could also post a Wanted To Buy ad on Craigslist or here:

I wouldn't get that one especially because a new one is the same price and i would get a bigger one imo
