HOB Protein Skimmer for 135g Saltwater Heavy Bioload

[lucyemc2]

What is the best HOB protein skimmer for a 135g saltwater tank? Run 2 Fluval FX4 canister filters.

I think that the AquaC Remora is the best HOB skimmer of all time. There are probably a few on eBay for cheap and you can run them with MaxiJet 1200 - no idea how complete that they would be. They are injection skimmers so you can hear them if you really listen.

You likely need a few of whatever you get to do a good job at removing organics, but even one can really help with gas exchange.

I like that one too but isn’t it only rated for 75g?

Doesn’t Reef Octopus make some nice ones?

Not sure if this is a rimmed or rimless tank though.

This is probably something she should make sure of prior to purchasing the skimmer.
