good hang on protein skimmer

which or what brand is one of the better hang on protein skimmers

 

Depends on how big your going...I just upgraded to a nice HOB "CPR" Skimmer.
From What I've heard its a nice piece of equipment....to early for me to tell yet.
But it has some good reviews...Good Luck.

as said it depends on the tank size, I have an aqua-c remora with a maxi-jet 1200 powering it, and its working great, the skimate is very dark stuff, its fairly quiet too, I have the overflow bo too for it so it skims the water from the surface and theres enough room in that overflow chamber to run a bag of carbon...so for my 46 gal. tank its working great...

 

I love my octopus. If I went with another HOB down the road, it would be another octopus. The CPR's are ok, but keep in mind you will need 2-3 mods to get it working efficiently.
I wrote a review a while back on my octopus if your interested:

My two recommendations are the AquaC Remora and the Octopus BH-100F. If you want to drool. Look at the Deltec MC500. The MCE600 is sweet too.

 

I have a Aqua C Remora on my 40 and it works great. I`ve been very happy with it so far.

 

gotta go with the remora, I also use it with a maxi jet 1200. It is so incredibly easy to use too. Just plug and play, the only thing that you have to adjust is the height of the collection cup depending if you want to wet skim or not. I have it on a 55

 

I have a Bak-Pak2, it's ok, but it is loud. I would get a Remora if I knew then what I know now.

 

i run a SeaClone and am very happy with it. pulls very dark skimmate out. my buddy runs an octopus as he calls it and he is happy with it. we both have 135g tanks.

 

i have a 100g tank does that change anything
