Would having a protein skimmer and uv sterilizer that is meant for a 240 gallon tank run on a 90 gallon tank be bad overkill?
Thanks...I am getting a 40 watt uv sterelizer for $100 and a skimmer made for a 240 tank for $60. Found Good Deal! Thanks : )EastBay;4332364; said:Heck no! Really no such thing as "too big" in the world of saltwater!
In fact, both the skimmer and sterilizer probably do less than what they indicate. Most manufacturers fudge the number of gallons their products treat. Most marine experts will tell you to upgrade to the larger model, just to be safe.
You'll be fine with what you have.
Uhh I'm not 100 pct sure but I think a uv sterilizer overkill might be a bad thing. I know it is for coralsMysticshadows3;4334759; said:Thanks...I am getting a 40 watt uv sterelizer for $100 and a skimmer made for a 240 tank for $60. Found Good Deal! Thanks : )
I don't understand how to install the skimmer and sterilizer. are they connected?yogurt_21;4340359; said:use the 75, for 1 it will be way easier when planning the overflows and 2 it will give more room for the skimmer some additional live rock and other equipment.
