    I'm settIng up a 75 gallon FOWLR and I need advice. What skimmer would be good. I'm looking for something under $ 300 that will handle a dwarf lion, snowflake eel, and a few other fish. It will be going in the sump so no HOB skimmers.

    Needle wheel vs recirculation

    Also I'm setting up a herbie drain and need advice on what pump to use as a return pump. Preferably in sump as well. The herbie will be make of once inch PVC. any advice is greatly appreciated.
