BayStYat Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Changes a few things. Returned the AC20 and got a 2nd AC70 to house the Cad Lights Skimmer Test fit is perfect. Link to comment
BayStYat Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Heater is in the AC70 also. Link to comment
Dreichler Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 do you think that skimmer is good enough for my JBJ 28? i took the hood off for an AI Prime, so do you think it'll fit it the back chamber? Link to comment

I would love to be able to help you out but unfortunately I am new to all this myself. Link to comment

In my opinion I wouldn't run a skimmer on anything really less than 40g or 50g. I was running a DIY skimmer on my 20 and based on growth, coloration, health, etc for the corals and fish I ended up taking it off. The biggest filtration for anything nano is going to be water changes. Link to comment
