skimmer?

I was woundering if a bak pak skimmer is a decent skimmer for a 20 gallon reef? What are some other good skimmers for this size tank? DO i even need a skimmer for my 20 gallon?

bak pak is decent at best.... junk if you want my honest opinion. with that size of a tank, i would just do weekly water changes.

I have the bak pak and its good at best. I would recommend a coralife superskimmer 65 or from aquatraders ps75 or even a typhoon from doctor's foster and smith

They are ok skimmer but I would look into the Tunze 9002 skimmers. Very compact skimmers and they can run inside of the tank or in a sump.
