Welcome to TRT!!!

i would suggest either the Bak-Pak or a AquaC Remora. i would lean more towards the Remora.

Welcome to TRT! I use the Remora Aqua C Pro and love it.

I have used the Bak-Pak for a long time, even on a 29 gallon and while they work "ok", I only consider them "ok".

I have heard a lot of good things about the Aqua-C remora but I do not have any first hand experience with them myself.

I just got a Aqua C Mora and set it up last night. It is making a ton of bubbles right now but it will go away in about a week after it is broken in.

The research I did for hang on skimmers had the Aqua C Mora as the best skimmer for the money. I bought it from Marinedepot.com and got it in two days. It has already pulled out some green wet foam. After it is broken in the foam will come out dry but it is very wet to start.

Best wishes to you!
