Any good HOB filters?

[REMF]

Would like some recommendations for HOB filters. I have a fuge w/cheato and a sump, but I also run a HOB filter to polish the water with carbon and added water movement. I am running a Emperor 280 but think I could do better.

Tank 75gal, Mag 9 return thru a scwd L/R returns, 2 seio 820's.

Any suggestions?

Recirculating skimmers are always better than in sump or HOB because of more contact time with the raw tank water for foaming. IMO, if your budget can, get a go external recirculating skimmer like Deltec or H&S.
