hulkthepuffer Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi guys Im new to saltwater and have decided its time to get a skimmer. My tank is 25g(no sump) with 2 small clownfish but will probably end up getting 3 to 4 more fish. Im looking for a skimmer that is quiet as the tank is in my bedroom and or does not create any micro bubbles so I could just turn it off at night. I found the Fluval Sea Protein Skimmer (PS1) online at Hollywood fish farm for about $150 and it looks pretty good so far, (I only really want to buy from hollywood fish farm). I would love to here your suggestions so I can make the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aer0 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 being that you have no sump HOB is your best option, the PS1 seems to rate quite well and at that price not a bad option. Have you looked at reviews online for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8jaggy8 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 We have a PS1 running in our tank at work and it works pretty awesomely for the multiple different bioloads we stick on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkthepuffer Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 what livestock do you keep in your tank, and what size is your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8jaggy8 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I work in a Pet Shop so our stock changes on a weekly basis some weeks can have 20 fish in a 200L to sometimes only 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkthepuffer Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 How quiet does it run, oh and does it release micro bubbles into the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
