Paratore Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am currently running a CPR cy192 sump/protein skimmer on my 55 gallon tank (about 20 gallons worth of fuge and sump water also). I feel as though it is not pulling enough skim and that my tank might be suffering as a consequence but I am not sure. Does anyone have any experience with these all in one sump/fuges? I got the set up as a package when i bought the system so i do not know that much about it. If I do need to get a new skimmer does anyone have one they wouldn't mind parting with? I would prefer to get one used so its less of a blow to the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Cpr skimmers are not high performers by any stretch of imagination. One thing you can do to help it is add a wood air stone and pump. You can look it up, that's the mod most do to get them to skim a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwickm Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have a virtually new AquaMaxx HOB-1 for sale for $175. Great skimmer and huge step up from the cpr. I just switched to an in sump model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
