What's the best protein skimmer for a 500 gallon fowlr tank?

 

[eliramos]

check out reef octopus

 

[darrendh]

What makes you like them?

 

[mnat]

Internal or external? I have the external reef octopus on my 400g system and love is (5000).

 

[darrendh]

I'm thinking internal, simply due to the fact that if there is an overflow or issue I won't have a 'mess'

the vertex alpha 300 is excelent, i have 1 in 180 gal.
