    What pump would you recommend for the ETSS 500 skimmer?

    Will that skimmer be a good one for my tank?

    I have a 135 gallon tank.....still trying to get a new sump, not sure what size to go with...I will return with an Iwaki 100.

    Can I branch off of that Iwaki 100 with valves and run the skimmer with just that one pump? Is that doable? Anyone ever do something like that with success?

    Then I can keep the Iwaki 70 I have as a spare.

    You seem to always chime in on protein skimmer threads. You must copy and paste old post.... :)

    But you always add good info to any protein skimmer thread.

    This would be my choice. I hooked up my new Super Reef 5000 yesterday and it's already kicking out foam.

    EDIT: The body of the skimmer here is white. The thing is it's a clear body, those are all bubbles.
