Re: Best Protein Skimmer?

A canister filter isn't recommended for reef tanks since they will trap detritus which will lead to nitrate problems in time. Using LR, LS, good flow and good skimmer is all you need. Since you don't have a sump you'll be limited AFA skimmers go BUT there are a couple of good one's the AQUA-C Remora is excelent as well as the HOT Aqua-medic Turboflotor but it's bulky, also Deltec makes an excellent HOT skimmer the MCE600.
