Best HOB skimmer!

[mrdamsel]

So, hello everyone! I am new to azoox tanks and am having that urge to setup an azoox tank. There is a seaclone 100 on the tank right now and am fully aware that I need a better skimmer ASAP. I dont have a sump right now, and need a HOB skimmer, and please don't say deltec or bubble king but not like a seaclone. Now before you say that you will need more bucks, I don't want things like dendronepthea and flower trees, but a simple setup with some sponges, gorgonians like the blue, red, and yellow finger. The tank is 40 gallons and water changes are 10% twice a week. There is a good amount of live rock but no refugium. Any help is appreciated!!!

I have had really good results with the Eshopps HOB skimmers. I got pictures of the gunk if you want.

Hey, just had a question. Do you think the eshopps can handle the load of an nps tank that will get fed 5-6 times a day?

also, a picture of the gunk will be good. In an NPS tank, should I skim wet or dry?
