katarian Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hello Everyone, So as I previously told I am setting up a 55G tank. Now I have decided to setup a sump for it as well. But it won't be any bigger than a 15 or 20g tank, so I am looking for a Protein Skimmer for it. Something that is rated for 75G or 100G. I am afraid I won't be able to place a skimmer any bigger than that inside the sump. So if you guys are trying to get rid of your skimmer, let me know. Thank you, Nakul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-the-reefer Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm about to pull my little sca301 out of my tank. It's a little less than what you're looking for. I think they're rated to 65 gallons. You can have it for 40$ if you want to give it a try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katarian Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hey Jack, What is the base diameter of the skimmer? Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Katarian I think you would b better off with powder blues sca 302. A 301 is def too small in my opinion. You shoul always overshoot your skimmer by double at least so if you are running a tank with total volume of say 100 gallon. Go for omething rated up to 180 or so. Skimmers are usually overrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could grab this from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a few people about 301 after Jack responded, and they all say it'll be fine for my setup. But I'm open to more suggestions. It's going to be my first ever aquarium, and I am really tight on budget. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katarian Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 ive got the 302 im selling for 100 bucks Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Hi PowderBlue, I'd totally take it, if you can come a little lower on the price. Money is a major issue for us at the moment, and we still got a lot of stuff to add to the setup to get the aquarium going. Let me know Thanks Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk I'll follow you on here so if I ever need anything I can get in touch with you. On the other note, would you have an aquarium stand large enough to hold a 55g tank? The stand I have right now won't hold a sump a large enough sump underneath it.
