Poll time, Skimmer input


I have a 6gal eclipse that i have turned into a Nano on my desk at work. I am looking for a good small Skimmer/filter that i can use. currently I am only using 2 HOB filters. I want something a little more robust that will run without a lot of noise. it needs to be 15" or less if possable. I have been comparing the following, your input would be nice.

Bak Pak
Aqua C Remora
Red Sea Airlift (60 gal)

Im only familiar with the bakpak so I can only comment on it...
It seems like it would be too big for that small of a tank. The pump and output take up a lot of room on a small tank. If you do decide to go with this - I would suggest the following modifactions:
Build an external overflow for the tank and place the pump in it. You can either put the output in the tank, or add some PVC to make the output smaller in diameter and then insert that into the tank.

I posted in your other thread...pretty much said (and have seen) that the remora (aqua-c's) will outpreform those other skimmers with ease
