Spiderguardnano Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 whats up guys so found a pretty good on a curve 5 for $100 do you think it will be an overkill for 32g with 20g sump? any pros and cons about the skimmer you guys care to share? Link to comment
farkwar Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 No such thing as overkill with a skimmer. As long as it fits, that is. I have a BMC5 on a 40b, its pretty much maxed out. Pros, its a good skimmer for $200, great one for $100. Cons, other than not being a BMC7 or Vertex Omega, none. The size of a skimmer should be determined by the amount of life and feeding, not gallons of the tank. Link to comment

farkwar Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Get a 5 gallon bucket. 2 gallons vinegar. Skimmer in bucket, run at full skim over night. That will clean it. Rinse it. Put in sump. It will start skimming immediately. Link to comment
Eisernes Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Awesome skimmer. I use one on a heavily stocked 40b and I have to dump the cup full of dark skim every week. Broke in overnight and took very little adjusting. Link to comment
