What is a good hangon skimmer

[melinda & adam]

Looking to replace the seaclone that is not working. I saw another thread from earlier this year saying that the remora was a good option. Is it still a good option or is there something else that is better out there now. It will be going on a 29g without a sump.

I use a cpr bakpack on my 33 and it works wonderfully

The berlin turbo classic hob worked pretty well.

Remora

remora is good. LMK if u looking for one.

I had a remora it was ok. Long term, go deltec, short term, remora. CPR is not so good.

We use an Aqua C remora on our 35 gallon hex and it works great. For your 29, it should be more than enough (I believe they make a model for smaller tanks but not too sure if it's a HOB kind, but aqua c is).

 

We got ours from Marine Depot.

Had a feeling someone would say Deltec. I think we will end up with oe by the end of the week. Thanks

My CPR bakpak is awesome

I've had good experiences with the cpr back bak, and so has raff.

 

You get what you pay for with deltec, but they charge a bit more than they're work. JMO

remora or backpack should be fine as long as you are not totally over stocking it.

I use an Excalibur, but that may be too big for your system. Works well on my 90g.

my ((cough)) prizm works wellllll on my 20 gallon........

I could never get my cpr backpack to work. I liked the remora much better.

You do get what you pay for with a deltec, but they are not over priced for what they do. I've had a bakpak, remora, asm, euroreef and now have a deltec. The consistent performance of the deltec far exceeds any of these skimmers.
