Hi everyone. I am starting my first sw tank. Its a 40 gallon breeder that will have hang on back equipment. I am having trouble finding a reasonably priced HOB skimmer rated for 40 gallons. The reed octopus 100 and aquamaxx hob-1.5 are both rated for larger aquariums even when lightly stocked. The Reef Octopus NS80, bubble magnus and Aquamaxx bullet-1 are all rated too small.
I have heard you don't want to oversize a skimmer and my tank will be lightly stocked for a while so I was nervous about getting too large a skimmer. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for HOB skimmers on a 40b? I would like to not spend more than $220.
Thanks for the help.
