Default What kind of PS?
I have a 40g tank, and I was wondering what kind of PS would be good for it. I just want a hang on, preferably something that is cost efficient too :p.

I'd recommend what I'm actually running myself, which is a V2 Skimmer, or in the U.S. it's a Coralife Skimmer! Great value for money and works like a charm.
