skimmer

[jenniebutterfly]

i have never run a skimmer on any of my tanks, but now i am thinking that with the small size of my 15, a skimmer might be a good idea. anyone have a small hang on skimmer they would recommend? i don't want to spend a fortune either but i want something that will skim the tank decently

You can get a CPR BakPak for under $100.00 and still skim at a great pace.

thats exactly what i was thinking about getting just what i wanted to hear

im using the seaclone 100....its suppose to be pretty decent for a small tank...cost only like 60-80 bucks

Wouldn't a Remora be better?

 

[Deanos]

A Remora is better, but not necessary for a 15 gallon and it'll be more expensive.

 

[FastUno]

I just sold mine for 110, so not necesarrily more expensive for the output? I loved my Remora, so I am just checking in with you guys to see if there was something better than the Remora. I don't have experience with any other HOB skimmer, but did plenty of reading before I acquired the Remora.

Fast, the Remora you soLd me rocks! :thanks: :yeah:

 

[IconicAquariums]

Remora is good, as is the Coralife. Probably worth the extra $$ over the Bakpak. Deltec is top of the line.

Get the largest skimmer you can afford. Bigger, better ,faster, farther, longer, wider..........
This would be too much though!

 

[DevIouS]

Ink if you bought one......I'll have one for $115

 

[FastUno]

Yea, I loved that Remora. I had it for months doing nothing after I upgraded my skimmer on my larger 90g. Then two days after I sold it I had a need for it, while I was awaiting another pump for my Deltec skimmer. Funny how things work out.

Great thing about that remora is it's pretty quiet, produces good skimmate, & you don't have to fiddle with it. Just set it & foggetit.
