Hey everyone, first time post here. Trying to decide on a skimmer for my JBJ45. I tried the tunze 9004 and just don't like it. First were the micro bubbles and couldn't get em to stop. Tried again moving to a different chamber in the filter, but hate how the cup just comes right off if touched at all. Wouldn't stop filling with water, I'm just done with it and getting something else less reliant on maintaining a perfect water level.

There isn't enough space in back for a HOB, so was considering the Icecap K1. Will this under sized skimmer work on this size tank? Should I move the tank a few more inches off the wall in our already small home so I can get a Auqumaxx or Reef Octopus HOB? Or will the K1 do the trick in a more low pro fashion? Tank has been running for a year with LPS and a nem for about 8 months with no skimmer, so I imagine the K1 would still help quite a bit?

Please share your thoughts!
