I started this thread yesterday, but forgot to mention I was looking for suggestions for an exposed hang on back skimmer, so didn't get approprite suggestions. Its for my 45g tank. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

I have a CPR bakpak on a 55 gallon and it is pretty quiet. You can't really hear it unless you get right up to the tank. And it has a realitivley low profile.

We have one and it is great. But i wouldn't say they have a low profile. They take up alot of space with the pump and overflow box. There are alot of mods for this skimmer that boost its performance.

AquaC Remora with the paper towel mod. Very low profile and works great.
