best3175 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Has anyone had luck running dual Protein Skimmers? Seems like would work. I'm curious as to everyone's thoughts or, better yet, experiences. Link to comment
dylan1464 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Can I ask why you want to run 2 skimmers? Link to comment
TristanC Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 A proportionately sized skimmer would seem to be a better idea. Link to comment
stevethao Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 A proportionately sized skimmer would seem to be a better idea. Maybe he has an AIO (SR80?) and it doesn't fit any of the bigger skimmers. So he wants to run two PLS50's? Idk, seemed like it'll possibly work. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Smaller skimmers just don't perform as well as larger skimmers. Even quality small skimmers generally only pull out tea colored skimmate. At best you're pulling out just as much gunk and more water. At worst you're throwing away the extra money. If you've got room, do yourself a favor and just invest in a larger skimmer.

best3175 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Can I ask why you want to run 2 skimmers? The SR80 doesn't have much room for skimmer. I am thinking of placing two skimmers in the back. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I don't see why it wouldn't work, nor why two wouldn't be better than one. Link to comment
