protein skimmer for a 20 long reef tank

[danspyvey]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a protein skimmer for a twenty gallon long? They will all be appreciated.

CPR Bakpak 2
or
Remora Pro

I think I would use the Remora with the maxi-jet. The Remora pro is 21.5" and the Remora is 17.5". If you use either of these know that they would hang down past the tank. Great skimmers though. Very quiet.

yeah, I think the Remora Pro would be a bit much. Regular Remora with the MJ 1200 would work great.

I second Magilla...Remora pro is probably a better unit while the Bak Pak 2R is a little cheaper but very effective...I believe you'll get your money's worth out of either..And this is assuming you want a HOB skimmer...

the remora pro is a very good skimmer, if price is a factor try an excalibur, they are quite nice for a small skimmer and very well priced

i'm currently using an excalibur on my 55 and it seems to be working great.

I use the AquaC Remora with a MJ1200. Will run about $150 most anywhere you look. Great skimmer though. Very quiet.. does a good sludge sucking job.

If you are keeping softies and a couple of fish, a Remora will work fine. If you want even better water quality for stony corals, a sump with a EuroReef ES5-2 would be better. For the ultimate in hang on skimming, a Deltec MCE600 would be the ticket, awesome skimming power, but it's not cheap because of the beating the US dollar is taking overseas at $446.00. Aqua Medic makes a good skimmer also, the Turboflotor. It's often overlooked, a bit bulky, but a good inexpensive skimmer, with a needlewheel design.
