LifeReef Overflow Box

[ReefDreamin']

Hi everyone...sorry if this is a really stupid question ....

I was looking up info about overflows and sumps (trying to figure out what they are, whether I need one, how to set one up, etc.), and I saw some posts about the LifeReef overflow being a good choice. I went to their website and they call it a Siphon/Skimmer box. Does that mean it works as a protein skimmer? If I got it would I not need the AquaC? Or should I use both? I'm a little confused and would appreciate any advice/help.

Thanks in advance!

They call it a siphon/overflow/skimmer because it skims off the top water into the overflow...perhaps, not the best choice of words as it does not have any protein skimming effects. I have one for my 120g and it really is the best -- restarts every time, no worries about overflowing, etc.

Top notch product, IMHO.
