Title: Skimmer selection for a 20 gallon long.
Post by: Secondgen on July 10, 2006, 19:47:05: Anyone know of any decent hang on tank skimmers for reef tanks. I know the AquaC Remora is good, but expensive when bought new. I will be scanning the auction blocks, and classifieds for this peice of equipment. Just wanted some feedback.

Post by: BobbyC on July 10, 2006, 21:34:06: If I can unload my livestock I've got a HOB Remora C w/ MJ1200 that I would LOVE to make you a good deal on. :)

It's been a great skimmer but I've gotta take down my tank.

Post by: bigfalcon36 on July 11, 2006, 12:12:33: the corallife skimmers are great for the money as well.

Post by: Secondgen on July 11, 2006, 15:51:10: I have heard good things about the coralife skimmers as well.

Post by: Joel on July 11, 2006, 17:09:49: CPR Bac-Pac is a nice HOB skimmer at a very reasonable price. I think we sell them new for 150 or 175, includes the pump too.

I bet they are available mail order or on ebay even cheaper.

It's about 45 minutes give or take. Let us know when you are going. There might be a few of us that could ride together. :)
