posted this Q on the SPS forum due to my desire to set up a SPS dominant tank. I got no responses but lots of views... However..... This is a skimmer question.
To make a long story short(er) I am setting up a SPS dominant tank and when I started gathering equip I was thinking of going with a 75 gl tank and ended up with a 90. My sump will hold aprox 20 gl of water, poss 30. I bought a Euroreef 80 skimmer. I am concerned that the ER 80 is not enough skimmer to run a bb SPS tank.
Due to size in the sump and under the stand I am somewhat restricted in my choices. I have looked at Deltec MRC 600 to (add?) as a second skimmer. Then I started looking at Tunze DOC skimmers also to add as a 2nd skimmer...
I am curious to the members opinions regarding the following.
Can I run 2 skimmers effectively. IE add a Tunze DOC skimmer?
Should I sell the ER and get a skimmer rated for a larger tank?
What skimmer would you go with?
Any opinions and or experiences would be appreciated.
