small protein skimmer

LCP136 · 09-16-2008, 11:11 PM

I'm setting up a 36 gallon seahorse tank(don't worry, I know what i'm doing with them). The only question I have is if there is a good skimmer for that size tank that anyone knows of.

I'm using an Oceanic Nano skimmer in my 36. Obviously not the greatest thing out there, but it works very well. The only problems I have are...

1. The suction cups don't stick very well.
2. Getting the proper placement is a PITA.
3. Figuring out just the right amount of airflow.

Otherwise i was a great $14.98 investment.

Theres the cpr bak pak. I have one on my 29 gal. And bought a second one on ebay for around 70 bucks. Others might tell you the aqua c remora, which I hear is great, but personally have no experience with. Good luck!

The backpack is a good choice. I liked the one I had!!! You don't have to skim to aggressively with horses, do you?
