Sump size & Protien skimmer suggestions

[dustin323]

Thinking of possibly starting up a 58 gallon tank. Gonna be SPS mainly. How big of a sump should I get? I want to have a refugium in it & the protein skimmer. Also what are some protein skimmer suggestions for this tank?

Well a 36'' X15''X15'' sump should work good. For the skimmer a small Euro Reef CS 100 I believe they call them or the small Vertex skimmer or next smallest Bubble Magnus I believe the 100 they are having problems with the pumps.

Saw the octo NW 110 for $110. Probably the best bang for buck out there.
Bermuda makes some nice ones.

Thanks for the input. I've been hearing a lot about those Octopus skimmers. I'm gonna look into all of those.

not much of a help but the biggest that will fit under stand and the biggest ovesize that will fit in it

if a 55g will fit under your 58g you could baffle that

im also a fan of euroreef PS
