Nano skimmer

Looking to get a quality skimmer that will handle a 40 gallon tank. Not sure whether to go with a HOB skimmer or not... What would you guys recommend?

I found this skimmer but I can't find any reviews

Unless you have a sump, you have no choice but to use a HOB fractionator. I personally like CPR products...they've been around for a while, I've used their products and like them and they're manufactured in my old college town. Go with the CPR Bak-Pak 2R+. The second chamber works as a great refugium and eliminates microbubbles in the tank!

Also, you can do a price match with marine depot and get overnight delivery standard since they're local...Garden Grove I think???

In the end, listen to everyone's opinions, read reviews and make an informed decision. Remember it's all about what works for YOU!

Hope this helps!

Then get the biggest fractionator you can afford! Even get one that's rated for a tank bigger than yours! Like 100+ gallons. You'll appreciate it later. Especially when you upgrade.

What? You're not planning on an upgrade?


Not yet...you're not.
