LF: Inexpensive HOB skimmer for a 24 gallon tank.

[Scuba Dan]

Just as title states. Looking to buy a inexpensive HOB skimmer for my 24 gallon tank. Does not need to be top of the line. Just looking for a used, inexpensive skimmer that gets the job done. Thought I would check here before looking for a used one on ebay.
Thanks....

What do you consider inexpensive and how much room do you have for a skimmer?

I have a remora hang on back for sale

CrazyEyes, If Its a HOB, I have plenty of room. I would like to go with a HOB, but would consider a in tank skimmer. Its been awhile since i shopped around for a skimmer and found a few brand new ones and used I'm checking into. Doing a bit of research now. At the moment I'm looking into the following:

-AquaticLife Internal Mini Skimmer 115. New($59.99) Finding good reviews on this one.
-Fluval Sea PS1. Used ($45.00)
-Hydor slim skim nano. New ($85.00)
-Red Sea Prizm. Used ($25.00)

Like I stated, not looking for the top of the line, just a basic skimmer that gets the job done.

toddmau5, what are you looking to get for the Remora?

Thanks for the reply guys. No longer looking. I went ahead and ordered the AquaticLife Internal Mini Skimmer 115.

how is that skimmer working out for you?

You read positive and negative reviews on this skimmer some stating its junk, a waste of money. Some that love the skimmer. Thought I'd give it a try. IMO its a GREAT skimmer for the money.:thumbsup: Its a bit on the small size, but it REALLY pulls the nasty out of the water. Wish they would make a larger version of this skimmer. Here are a couple pictures taken today of what it has skimmed. Little in size, but BIG in performance.

nice, I think that skimmer will work perfect in my 20-25G setup. Thanks for the pics. I have read really good reviews on this skimmer. nice to hear a good one on here.

Is it quiet?

Yes....
Please note that you will get micro bubbles at first, but they went away after a week or so. Its a GREAT skimmer for the money. I've seen used ones go for $25.00. New one can be purchased for $55.00 at Doctors Foster and Smith. IMO, not many skimmers will perform like this one for $55.00.
