Hello reefers,

my tank is 33 g + sump = 39 g >> planning it to be a mixed reef tank ..

I want your opinion on what of the following skimmers should I purchase:

1)- tunze 9002 52 g
2)- hydor slimskim 48 - 65 g
3)- coralife 65 g
4)- aquaticlife 30 g

Thanks !

The Tunze 9002 for sure. I've had skimmers that produce more skimate but the Tunze runs very quiet and produces a nice stable amount to skimate so you don't need to constantly be making adjustments. There may be a better compact skimmer out there as I haven't used a small skimmer for a few years, but the 9002 is by far the best skimmer on your list.
