Question

20 gallon BB skimmer?


I need to know what a good skimmer would be for me to get? I have a 20 gallon aquarium and want to set it up BB for ease of care when I go away to college. This set up would have no sump, and have moderate flow. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

Best two options are an Aqua C remora or a Coralife SS!

I'll second the Remora, although I think a BakPak would work, too. Don't know much about the Coralife HOB, so i can't comment on it.

I have a bakpak from CPR and it works great. I added the optional overflow box for the intake pump and it works great.

I would probably go with the Coralife SS. It has a bigger collection cup than the remora, better for when your gone.
