Good Protein Skimmer?

[Trustyworm]

Is the Aquaready HF-M complete filtration system a good skimmer for my 75 gallon aqueon tank? Right now I have two clowns and six banggai cardinals. I plan to add a bristle tooth tang and a diamond watchman goby in the future. Maybe a snowflake eel if I'm comfortable enough to add it.

I used to run a Somatic 60s. It was okay, not the best to tune easy. But once tuned all good. For my new tank I’m running a Octo 150int. In three days a brand new skimmer started doing its job without an issue! And so easy to tune and manage! Would never go back to lower end units.

I don't have a sump for those skimmers. That's why I wanted to know if I could use this one instead, since it has a hang on the back skimmer. I know sumps are the best, but due to complications and etc I can't.

Ahh okay you're in need to make your tank a AIO basically. Yes that is an option for sure without changing out tanks. Cant say how good it works. I have a IM lagoon tank that is a AIO unit. I'm running a MiniQ Nano skimmer... works like a beast. But the particular unit you're looking at I cant say much about. Looks to be a nice product. Try YT videos.

I like the aquaready hob skimmers, I've been using them for years without issue.

Do you guys know any good hob skimmers for the 75 gallon aqueon. I just realized that the skimmer I was planning on getting only fits 0.75 inch rims.

I had the hf-m on a 40 breeder, but the mounting hooks aren't great and barely fit over the rim. It didn't take much for the body to crack making it useless
You'd be better off with the aquamaxx hob 1.5 of you're going to stick with hang on gear

I read good reviews about Bubble Magnus. This is a good option for your application.
