it can go directly into the sump, just set it in the sump where you want get water in there plug in skimmer, adjust the bubble level to desired position on skimmer and enjoy.

Do all of them go right on the sump? All sumps have room for them?

So I got a killer deal on a saltwater setup today.

its a 65 gallon, included, is a full filter system, minus the pump, so ill need one of them. All tubes/pipes. Included the glass canopy, and light setup.

Now onto my questions.


Do I need a protein skimmer?

Do I need a power head?

What pump do you suggest?

And the glass tops, do I need them? I always see saltwater tanks with them off, does it affect the light?

yes no matter what.. and you need a good one or it's pointless

yes

for a return pump?

don't need glass tops but your fish can jump... yes it affect light

The Mini-G is perfect for your 65 gallon tank.

mr.reef24

get a skimmer that goes right into the sump and don't skkimp out on a cheap one or you will regret it.. looks to me like you need to a bit of research.. don't take the plunge unless you do alot of research.
