I need to find a good skimmer!

[Prest0nC]

I have a 20 gallon reef aquarium that needs a skimmer, preferably a hang on back. What skimmer offers the best value (quality v. price)? What are some of my options? What have you had experience with?

I've had my eye on either a CPR Bak Pak or Aqua C Remora. What are your thoughts on these skimmers?

Please. Any knowledge that would help me in deciding which skimmer to get would be helpful!

Thanks in advance.

Both do well in the hobby for smaller systems. If I needed to go that small I would either go with a Tunze Doc skimmer or even try the new SWC hang on skimmer.

Personally I build all my own skimmers but not everyone can.

The Tunze will be the most efficient skimmer IMO but may be a bit obtrusive.

If you want to shell out some big dollars you can get a hang on made by KZ now. Not worth the money IMO unless you have deep pockets and like high end toys
