All skimmers need to be cleaned once every month or 2. Their collector cups should also be emptied every week or 2. So hopefully, that still meets your maintenance-free criteria. Most of the HOT skimmers will put microbubbles back. The only one that I've used that didn't was one from the Tunze Comline series. There are various sizes. However, these don't hang on the back of the tank. Rather, they hang inside the tank. For the other HOB skimmers, you can get bubbletraps for them.
