[Hypertek99]

I'm looking for a skimmer now so which skimmmer would be good for a 29GAL??? Oh i'm looking for a HOB style as i don't have room.

A superskimmer by coralife. Model 65

 

[Hypertek99]

Is the AquaC Remora better or the Coralife Super Skimmer???

the bigger the better, the biggest that would fit in your sump. JMO

 

[Hypertek99]

I need a HOB skimmer cuz i don't have a sump. Which one is better of the 2???

 

[Mrseptember15]

Superskimmer works in both sump and as a hang on skimmer so I would go with the superskimmer.

but a lot of people say that the ss looks hideous when it's on the back of the tank.

i own a superskimmer. it skims great, but is like a lighthouse.

i use to have the css 65g model on my aquapod i hated the thing constantly had to adjust it. ill admit it did pull some nasty skim but it was loud and a micro bubble producing machine. plus i have heard of them overflowing. i never had it do it to me but the guy i sold it to it did it to him. i would go with a cpr bakpak with a mj1200 with needle wheel mod. i know a couple people that have them and they pull out some dark brown nasty stinky dry skim. i did the mod to my friends cpr and man its was crazy the way it started pulling about a full cup of dark brown skim a day and it still does. before the mod he had a mj900 on it with stock impeller and it took like 5 days to pull a full cup of only tea colored skim. then i gave him a mj1200 with the needle wheel mod. he also doesnt even have a bubble trap and there is no micro bubbles in his tank.

heres when my tank had a css 65g model skimmer

I swear by the CPR bak pak 2R. I have been using bak pak skimmers for many years and have always been happy with their performance.

I want a QUIET Hang on the back skimmer. Which would be the most quiet??? The tank is in my bed room so i want a quiet one.

i also agree with cpr bakpak with a mj1200 with needle wheel mod or the fish line mod. i ran a cpr bakpak(in-sump) with a MJ1200 on my 29gal, great skimmer for the size and price.
the tank was also in my Bedroom i didn't hear from it.
