Best HOB for 29 gallon
So my emporer 400 is slowly on its way out, I have had it for almost 8 years and am looking for something new. IYO what is your favorite Hang on the Back filter?
Aquaclear Emporer Whisper Ect. $ isn't really an option just looking for the best bang for my buck. The tank is a 29 gallon reef tank with tons of frogspawn, torch, Rics, Xenia and Mushrooms. 2 Clownfish and my CUC. around 18 pounds of live rock. |

my tetra advanced 33gph works like a horse.
But before you spend $50-60 on a HOB powerfilter, why not invest in a PSK-75 model Eshopps HOB skimmer for $130? There is an active thread on the previous page for you to read a dozen pages about them. I love mine! |
