Decided to set up another small tank and I want to run a HOB filter. I know they aren't ideal for reef tanks or saltwater aquariums but I don't have the ability to plumb overflows and drains into this tank and I don't plan on having a sump. So with all that being said - is there a certain HOB filter that I should be getting? I will use the filter to turn the water and as well as place all of my media in it.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

No need to plumb for a Hang On Back Skimmer
Ive used Penguin Filters in the past, they seem to work pretty good.
