HOB skimmer recommendations for a 33L

SHOmuchFUN · 01/08/2007, 01:32 PM

Anybody have any decent hang-on-back skimmer recommendations for a 33gallon tank? It doesn't have an overflow, so having some sort of surface skimming capability might be a good thing. I am getting surface scum and it's pretty unsightly. If I could find a decent skimmer that'll help this, it'd be an added bonus.

Thanks!

Yeh, me neither... Mine skimmed minimally and was too loud for my taste. Was hoping someone would suggest a decent needlewheel skimmer which wouldn't look goofy in my really shallow tank.

remoras work great. problemis most people let the pumps get dirrty them they skim like crap. clean the pump every 3-4 weeks and you should get great results.
