I'm not sure about hang on filters. What are you planning on keeping in the tank?

seaclone worked good for me as hangon skimmer..
ive heard mostly bad about them but my luck proved diff.

Read the two * thread titles at the top of the forum: great help and details of all sorts. Rather than a hob skimmer, I'd recommend a hob downflow to a 30g sump and put a good skimmer there. Much better.

i agree for avoiding hob skimmers and just runnin a sump and using one in that.

i think we all do, however sometimes if a sump isnt a possibility them hob skimmers are better than no skimmer at all, well id say so anyhow

 

[weluvfish54]

i also agree with that, thats why i recommended a hang on one before that post
