For a qt tank. No skimmer,
I use a small power head, air stones, and a heater. With apiece of live rock.

my mistake ... no skimmer for QT tank ... no live rock either due to medication I plan to use ... so looks like a foam filter will have to do ... will check out concepts

we will be buying the curve 9 for our 250G. Concept seems to be the cheapest in town. I would go that route for sure

Im not sure what price range you're interestes in but concept is also bringing in the Ati powercone 250. I've got one on order for my new 300gal. Its in a higher price range then the Curve 9 but comes with a controllable pump and a digital airmeter.

ATIs are like double the price. Are they really twice as good? you would have a hard time convincing me...

At twice the price would it not be better to buy 2 curve 9's ... twice the skimming of a single skimmer and redundancy if one fails
