bak pak or super skimmer

[FishMachine]

20 gallon long with some coral.

will be used as frag tank and quarintine for my 60.

will be only filtration.

will eventually quarintine a yellow tang for my 60 so hi bioload for 2 weeks.

so should i get a bak pak 2r or a coralife super skimmer 65.

i want to be able to put filter media at return tube (for bak pak)


so which is quieter

ive had the bak pak and its kinda loud but has good skimming.

which one takes up less space in the display (return and intake)

Thanks

you may want to see the thread, "skimmer. sick of it"\

I have both--the bak pak on my 16g, and the superskimmer 125 on my 70g. The superskimmer can be a bit of a hassle, and it is NOT attractive--but skimming wise, to me it's far superior to the bak pak--but I like them both.
Bak pak is louder, superskimmer takes up more space, imo
Others will probably make other suggestions.
