So I'm setting up my first FOWLR saltwater tank. 30 gallon with a 15 gallon sump. I have an internal protein skimmer I'm setting up and was curious if adding a sponge prefilter to the skimmer pumps input will prolong the life of the propeller by keeping any debris from getting in. I know that the overflow input sock catches most large debris but I'm curious if there would be any additional benefit or if it would negatively impact skimmer performance. Any opinions?
