Protein Skimmer Types

You'll need to read on the subject on this link to understand my questions. It is long so, mainly concentrate on the "There are basically five different types of protein skimmer. These are:" subsection if you don't like reading.

AquaC - Protein Skimmers!

The questions are: What type of skimmer do you use? What size tank do you use it for? What type tank do you use it for? (fish only, fowlr, reef etc) Have you used other types before? If so, why'd you switch? How have the different types you've used worked for you? Do you recommend one type over another? Why or why not? In you're experience, has the type mattered? Would it be a good idea to have more than one type running at the same time or would this be money wasted? What do your co-aquarists think on the matter?

I don't get caught up in the exact mechanisms involved with skimmers - there are many different styles. I (like many) tried to go the cheap route on the skimmers and ended up spending twice as much than if I just would have went with the more expensive skimmers to begin with. I do have AquaC Remora skimmers and like them alot. Very durable, easy to clean and maintain.

I'd recommend looking into EuroReef, Tunze, Turboflotors and AquaC. After reading countless reviews on skimmers, those seemed to get the best reviews.
