Hey guys,
I have a 40 gallon tank + 10 gallon sump and was wondering what the best protein skimmer would be for the setup..
Got 1 soft coral and 2 lps.
Planning on keeping sps in the future.
Ps. I won’t have room for a Refugium in the sump.

I don't get caught up in the latest and greatest skimmers, they all do the same thing.

What I do is use a skimmer that's for twice the tank volume.

So chose what you like and what works for you.

Keep in mind that mixing softs, LPS, with SPS is very complex as SPS requires quite different environments especially the amount of flow which can be in the 30-50 times turnover.

This is not to say it can’t be done,
