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.

skimmer is even mor eimportant on a small tank because your water will pollute much faster by 20%....dont skimp

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.

Secondgen · « **Reply #3 on:** July 10, 2006, 22:45:26 »

How much BobbyC?

the corallife skimmers are great for the money as well.

Secondgen · « **Reply #7 on:** July 11, 2006, 15:51:10 »

I have heard good things about the coralife skimmers as well.

Joel · « **Reply #8 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.

Sounds good, I am setting up the tank this weekend, and I might be getting a skimmer as soon as I hear from the seller.

Secondgen,

What part of Sidney are you in?

Secondgen · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2006, 19:08:12 »

More to the outskirts. Between Piqua, and Sidney.

ohioreef · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2006, 19:24:05 »

South of Sidney, then?!? I am just off 25A about 3 miles south of Sidney.

Thanks alot Joel, I hope to get down to your shop sometime. I am setting up a 20 gallon long reef this weekend so it will need to cycle, but maybe when it is ready I will check out your shop.
