Protein Skimmer or Refugium

[rajfish]

Hey all,

I need to decide on my next expense. I have a Reef tank (with some growing green mushroom corals) with what you see in my signature line. What is more pressing right now? Also, what is a good model skimmer (hang on back of course, I don't want an in-tank one because of space concerns) for a 29 gallon. I have checked the internet, but have been deluged with information.

i prefer the coral life supper skimmer 65...they do extremely well for the money

you need a skimmer with all that livestock in a 29 gal.

One question about skimmer dynamics. Does it just hang on the back and dump water back in like a powerhead filter? OR do I need some separate source to hold water? Then, I might as well go fuge first.

You Can Get A Hand On Back Refufium With Skimmer Attached To It Its Like 300 For It But Would Help Control Your Bioload If Not Try A Coral Life Super Skimmer 65 Or Better Or A Aquac Remora Hang On Back Pricey But Good Skimmer So Ive Heard

I have the cpr aquafuge with a built in skimmer on my 20 gallon. It works well and adds 4.5 gallons of volume.
