There's plenty of great alternatives, and most other people on this site could recommend a few tried and tested ones to you.

I think it also comes down to price. You can spend $1000's on a fantastic skimmer or considerably less on an almost as good one.

If you're set on a hang-on model they generally are a little bit more expensive than their in sump versions.

If you've got no budget limit then your options are very open.

If you are running a sump id recommend looking at the VERTEX IN series. 250$ or so. The collection cup is easy to clean and maintain. Its alittle noisy but for the price and performance i cant complain. I was running the coralife SS previously and liked it other than the overflowing issues i had as well. I tried the Aqua C Remora pro and hated it. It was hard to clean, noisy and didnt perform as well as the coralife SS in my opinion.

A friend of mine has a Aqua C Ramoria. He swears by this skimmer and I have read a great deal of positive reviews

I would suggest it

I hear the Octopus line of hang-ons are good. There are few sellers in Canada, I'm sure a vendor on here could help you out.
