HOB skimmer for sumpless 40 Breeder?

[Wesley42079]

Hello fellow reefers,

I am in the process of setting up a sumpless 40 Breeder. I will have a mixed reef, but primarily LPS.

I wanted to find out what a good hang on back skimmer to purchase.

I saw on Craigslist a Reef Octopus BH100F, but it doesn't include a pump. I have read good reviews about the BH100F.

The only skimmer I have at the moment is a Tunze 9002 which I used for my BC 29. I don't think it is strong enough for a 40 Breeder.

I've heard good reviews for the AquaMaxx.

Another one I have read good things about is the Bubble Magus NAC5e. I am still in the process of cycling my tank so I have yet to really see this thing work, but from what I have read from others they have been happy with it.

Thank you both. I will research both devices.

I use the reef octopus bh 1000 model on my 50 gallon breeder, works great! So far it seems to be working even better since I put 2 sicce voyager 3's in my tank.
