jc254 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 What protein skimmer and lights would you recommend for a 250 liter tank? coral wise i would like to keep LPS, Zoos, Soft and anemone. I am a uni student so dont really like the sound of spending thousands on a state of the art skimmer/lighting fixture but wont be cheap either something in the middle. I dont really have space for a sump so hang on is more ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is the HOB model http://deepblueaquarium.co.nz//product_info.php?cPath=42_43&products_id=69 Personally I have a Deltec MCE600 as a HOB skimmer on a 450L tank. It's great, but quite a bit more expensive than the BM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirio Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Return pumps are the noise makers I found, depending on what brand is used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc254 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 what type of corals/clams/anemones can i keep with this light fixture? http://deepblueaquarium.co.nz//product_info.php?cPath=30_32_41&products_id=47 I doubt clams but just double checking and only hard corals if i placed them in the top 12" of the tank. Anything i should avoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
