I'm upgrading my skimmer and was deciding between one of these...
It's gonna be going on my biocube 29.. Upgrading my skimmer since I'm heavy on fish and I'm getting into more sps lately

Here are the skimmers I'm debating on

Lmk which one u guys think I should get..

I'm leaning towards CoralVue Octopus Hang-on-the-Back with Surface Skimmer
 
The first reef octopus looks better only because that skimmer won't cause a flood if the skimmer goes crazy. It's designed to prevent that. Which is great for a hob. Next I wouldn't want to use the last one because u would be over skimming and if ur keeping coral in a tank small IMHO I think u would be over doing it and may starve coral.
 
I'm using the pro clear 150 and am very happy with it
It is both economical in initial cost and effective at its job
 
so i thnk i've decided.. i'll be getting the CoralVue Octopus Hang-on-the-Back with Surface Skimmer.... i thnk thats the best for my tank.. cant wait to get it. thanks for all ur input everyone

Jeff. Take a look at the BH1000 before you go with the BH100. It's only like $30 more and the pump is external. much better for space and heat concerns. I have the 1000 on my frag tank and it's a beast.

I had the hydor slim skim nano in my jbj 24
It fit behind the false wall in one of the chambers and worked great

You should just drill your biocube and make a sump and u can put any skimmer u want

I did that to my old biocube and the jbj I just took down
