Hi all just wanting your guys opinion on pros and cons with regard to external protein skimmers, do they remove exsesive waste to the detriment of pod popultions, do they catch to many planktonic organisms . What do the experts have to say? reason why i'm asking is that i'm building a new setup and am going to run a Reef Octopus 3000ext onto my overflow and then to a fuge /bio filter (4ft)and then over a dsb 1mx500 to return to the dt ,tank size is 1.500 x 0.600 x 0.750(height) not quite sure if i should run the dt barebottom or not
