HOB skimmer

[JasonC]

Can someone recommend a HOB skimmer rated to 100 gallons or so? I've been looking at the aqua c and CPR aeroforce - any others I should be looking at?

They do make a good hob skimmer. But I wouldn't even run a skimmer on a tank that small J. I'm not running one on my 40g and it is doing fantastic

You use the HOB model? I've read it has microbubble issues - have you seen the same thing? Has it overflowed on you?

True, but you don't like fish in your reef tanks. I'm going to put some fish in mine so it's worth it to me to drop a couple of bills on a skimmer for some insurance.
