BacPak Skimmers
What is an efficient HOB protein skimmer for a 20g Frogfish aquarium.

I've had one for years, I always thought they worked great for smaller applications. Just pull the biobale out and use Live Rock as the filtering mech. The skimmers work great.

I personally HATED my bakpac, gave it away and feel sorry for the dude that took it!
Not much better than my prism, another junk skimmer. I'd look at remora for small HOB

I'm sure where all the hate comes from people on the bakpak, mine has run great...maybe older or newer design than mine. Mine even came with a crappy Rio, I think they use maxijets now.
