Default Convert to marine tank.

Hi

I intend to convert my 3x1.5(W) x 2(H) ft tank to marine. As the tank has euro-bracing, hang-on skimmer and filter was not suitable. Any recommendation for skimmer and filter? I saw this product TUNZE Reefpack 250. Anyone has try that before? I search on google and only saw 1 company selling reefpack 200 model.

i think for 3ft you need a bigger skimmer.

if you have a stand/cabinet or even a table nearby.. consider this kind of external skimmer. i've got a big cockup due to underskimming once, luckily only kill my mushroom. can't imagine if the zoas die and squirt all their poison into the water

HI bro, I prefer internal skimmer cause look nicer and space saving.

Starfish died n pollute my water.. Took it a few weeks before my corals open again.

I think there are a range of these skimmers. Price would vary on the capacity. But would definitely be more ex than HOB skimmer

i think there are hang on skimmers from Deltac, but if not mistaken this brand is one of the most costly skimmers. U can check sg reef for 2nd hand sales.
