I need a HOB skimmer but which one -
02-08-2010, 11:12 PM
I new to all this stuff and in need of a HOB skimmer for my 135 gallon tank. I do not have a sump so it needs hang on my tank. My budget is about 250.00. I have searched the forum and came up with Octopus or AquaC Remora but most of the people asking about HOB had 75 gallon tanks or less, so I'm not sure which is a good fit for my tank. If more information is needed please advise.
Thanks Ryan |

My remora works great, but I too am going to try the new Octopus Cone HOB Skimmer.

I have a heavily stocked 75 gallon reef.
My Remora didn't cut it. I just added a sump and an Red Sea C-Skim 1800. It was a pain in the ass, but it's making nice stable FILTHY foam, well worth it. (now that I got the damn tapwater conditioner out with a LOT of carbon lol) Check out this Bermuda Aquatics unit! My LFS has one on a show tank & it's pretty damn impressive. @ $249.99 it's in your range. http://www.toofishy.com/product.php?...cat=695&page=1 LOL, I just bumped a VERRRY old thread. hahaha. Whoops. |

I had a Remora on my 40g and I upgraded to a Deltec to get rid of the HA. I feed 3x/day tho. OMGnitrateAGAIN - I just clued in a couple days ago to the tap water conditioner/slime coat thing not being so good for skimmers too! Just switched over to one that doesnt have that stuff in it.
