Best skimmer for a 30g?

[Bunny]

Any reccomendations for a skimmer for a 30g? Preferably HOB. I had a skilter and hated it

ive heard that the aqua C romora are really nice never used one but was going to till i decided to go with a sump...curently use a bak pack 2 on my 29 gal. and it seems to work halfway decent.

I was something quiet too... Ill check out those

If you want quiet stay away from the CPR Bac Pac.

AquaC Remora on my 29g QT.


Just stay a way from the Sea Clown, OOPS, I mean Sea Clone.

this is by far the best hang on in the price range:

or you can mesh mod a maxi on a cpr bakpak,

or better yet, do this skimmer body, and this pump combo, this smokes, and would be a little over $100!!!

Ive heard that the tunze HOB skimmers are DEAD SILENT and work well. They are a little pricey though.

 

[Skimmy]

the tunze skimmers are in tank, not hang on the back, but yes, they do kick some ass, a tunze 9005/9010 would be great for a 30g

HOB fuge with good live sand and macro algae No cleaning, no noise, no evap

I can hook you up.

Comes with small pump. No light strip. A small NO light would work. 13" model. 60 buck takes it home. Costs over 100 new.

 

[acrodesiac]

You should jump on that one! That size would make it easy for you to add a HOB skimmer later if you wanted to do so.

 

[edwing206]

It just so happens that I have a cpr bak pak too. lol That is, if skimmerwhisperer doesn't want it for modding.
PM me. We'll talk.

 

[Bunny]

How much for both?
