Looking for recommendations about a HOB skimmer
I have a 65 gallon tank with LPS, softies, and 5 small fish and no sump. I do have a HOB CPR Medium Refugium on there. I currently use a CPR backpak HOB skimmer and don't collect much junk...some days I collect 1/2 inch only in the collection cup and once in a while I get more than 1/2 the collection cup full in a single day. I added the accela pump, but don't see much difference. I play with levels and air flow without much difference either.
What do you guys recommend for a skimmer? I'm willing to spend more for a larger capacity skimmer (in case I ever upgrade the tank). Should I first try to drill this tank and add a sump so I can expand my skimmer options?
Thanks,
jason
