Need a skimmer for my 29g. I am running a 10 g sump and im looking for something that will simply get the job done. Budget is around 100-220 bucks. I need to order something tonight because live rock will be here this weekend. I plan on keeping all types of corals and just 2 clownfish and maybe a goby.

I really liked my cpr backpack skimmer. Granted, I bought it 5 years ago and haven't been in the hobby since then. But it worked really well then and it wasn't particularly overpriced.

Make sure you do a mesh mod for increased performance- A cheap way to do it too!
