Hey Guyz need a little help......

[Tonyscoots84]

I was debating on going with a sump and insump skimmer.

what would be the best smallest most powerful insump skimmer i can get thats not gonna cost me a fortune.

Im also going to need a return pump with the least heat transfer.
for this i was thinking an eheim 1268 pump if theres such a thing...

any ideas for good equipment that will skim the crap out of my tank and pump water back to the tank with the lowest heat transfer internally please let me no...

thankyou in advance...

i like my DAS bx-1 that i run on my 65 and it fits in a 10 tank

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks noodle ill keep it in mind... anyone else with any recc. wanna do it right the 1st time dont want to go through a crap load of skimmers to find a good one

 

[Tonyscoots84]

was thinking about the one phil was using i forget the name of it. or a asm g1x skimmer...

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Try looking at the tunze DOC skimmers

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks chief. guyz don't be shy help me out.....

 

[OctaviousMonk]

I second the Tunze DOC skimmer. It uses almost no power, transfers little heat and is very quiet, all while being pretty powerful. I have seem then used an very reasonable prices, but can be expensive new. Eheim for a return pump is the best you are going to be able to get as far as heat and power consumption

 

[Tonyscoots84]

I heard the tunze is very sensitive as well.... thatnks for the input octavious. any other skimmers guys tryin to get the best skimmer that will do a good job and much better then the remora

 

[Tonyscoots84]

euroreef rs 80 or 100 wat do u all think

 

[jackson6745]

I would use a small euroreef for an inexpensive skimmer on your setup.

 

[JLAudio]

you could do a octopus ps 150 or ts 150, both will fit in a 10 gallon and with mods kick a$#

 

[mmike1992]

tony,tunze nano skimmer it rated for up to 50 gallons works great on my tank it is a little over 100 dollars

 

[JLAudio]

if you go ASM this website has the g1x for under $200

[autoponicz]

i got a diy nano skimmer that should be do well in the 30g....if you like diy then this skimmer will be fun...but pm me if your intersted...trade for a frag,im keeping th pump though.
heres some pics....

heres a vid.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

ok guyz after all the debating and researching i ordered the eheim 1260 pump and euroreef rs80 skimmer... hope they work out.
thanks everyone for all the input and help on these questions i had...
does anyone no where i can get aquarium sealant i dont trust the window and door sealant....

 

[Killerdrgn]

basically any fish store has the silicone sealent, even petland.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks killer ill check tom. I remember seeing it home depot but they didn't have it.... anyone has any good layouts for a 10 gallon tank sump. should I just stay with the basic layout 1st baffel down then the skimmer chamber and then the down up down baffels then the return area

 

[autoponicz]

im asuming you will just have a compartment for skimmer and return pump......
then the first baffle should be down so you can have a constant level for the skimmer to work effiiciently....the rest of the baffles is up to you ...but usually just down ,up,down...have fun with the build...show us some pics when your done....

 

[Tonyscoots84]

well i went ahead and ordered the asm g1x no one has the euroreef rs80 anymore..

back to asm i go :lol2:
