Dorkel Marine 1 · #1 07-06-2002, 06:59 AM

I have decided to put a protein skimmer on my 30 gal tank.One that hangs on the back. What would be some reccomended types from anyone having used them on smaller tanks. thanks in advance George.

George, when I ran smaller tanks, I always used and liked the CPR Bak-pak skimmer. Of course there are many more available now, but the simplicity of the bak-pak impressed me. And it skimmed well.

I have made HOT-1 knockoffs and seen a few of them(real ones) running. they are another good hang on skimmer.

I use a Remora on my 33g and has worked great. I did loose the Rio pump finaly, that was the biggest pain in the ass. A Hagen 402 looks to be working fine. The new ones, even come with provisions for a tap for overflow container. I just have not modified mine yet.
They sell em at JL and used the PRO verions them selves, the standard is just smaller.
