Skimmer Question

[Ships]

I know if I go up to something larger I'll need a good skimmer. Would I need one for a 38 gallon? If so, what would you suggest?

It's been yrs since I used a skimmer but for a 38 gallon no large skimmer needed.

I have a 75 gallon and I don’t use nor need one. If you do decide to get one for whatever reason then I’d talk to duanes as he made an impressive one a few years back, I’ll see if I can find it.

I just realized this was about protein skimmers for saltwater instead of freshwater so I must say that my 75 is freshwater.

the ones I made, were from plans on koiphen.com DIY section, entitled phoam phrctionator, just miniaturized slightly.
Here is a video of one I ade working on a small pond.
