Good HOB filter and protein skimmer?

[Hayden1112]

I have a 29 gallon standard, does anyone know a good HOB filter and protein skimmer?

On my 32 gallon I use a tidal 55 and an aquamaxx (now called aquaready) 1.5. Both are good quality and I'm happy with both, skimmer is almost 4 years, tidal only a few months.

I use the marine land hob filter and reef octopus protein skimmer on my 29 gal. Both work great.

Aquaclear large media capacity and new models are great, Reef octo BH 100 great and affordable up to 75 gallons. NOT a fan of tidals overhyped IMO and grinding noise if water levels drop. Less media capacity than an aquaclear only come with chinzy sponge and small amount of biomedia compared to aquaclears with chemical, biomedia and huge sponge. good luck!
