Skimmer Recommendation

[LovnChely2]

Curious what kind of skimmer you run on your seahorse tanks?

I'm looking for one for the new set up and not sure which way I will go...
leaning towards reef octopus...

This isn't really a recommendation because I haven't used it yet; but, after much research I just bought an Aquamaxx hob-1. I'm setting up a 47 x-high (20x18x30H) tank for either Seahorses or Pipefish, haven't decided that yet. All panes of glass on this tank are tempered, so cannot be drilled, and a HOB (hang on back) skimmer must be used. The thing that sold me on this one is that the reviews I read said it was "overflow proof" -- if the skimmate cup fills up and you're not around to empty it, the overflow will re-circulate back into the skimmer and not on your floor.

It's a 70gl with a 29gl sump. I'm setting it p for seahorses.

I dont know how much truth to it but i heard you need a skimmer over rated for your setup because s/h are slow to eat and fed twice daily causes alot of left over foods laying around
