Hang-On Back Protein Skimmer Recommendations
Hello all, I am converting my 30 gal FOWLR tank into a 75 gal mixed reef. I have never had a protein skimmer or sump before. Planning on using 3 stage canister filter with hang-on back protein skimmer. I've looked online and want to go with reef octopus model protein skimmer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Take a look at Eshopps skimmers.

Aquamaxx CO1 HOB skimmer.
It's their CO-1 sump skimmer in a HOB setup. Marine Depot has them on special this weekend. |

I love my Reef Octopus BH 1000 HOB .
Unfortunately , I broke the air intake device that connects to the pump cleaning it , one of the tabs that connects it to the pump broke off . That would be one of the 2 negative things I could say about this skimmer , the cheap tab connector ( with $30 replacement cost ) and clear acrylic body that grows tons of green and coralline algae requiring monthly cleaning . |
