Need a skimmer solution in my 44gal

[Gdk414]

Any good recommendations for a decent hob skimmer?
The tank is a 44gal corner tank. No room for sump under tank, but i have one set up (but not in use) beside the tank.

Should i get a hob overflow and run this eshopps sump and skimmer?
.
.
Or should i ditch the sump and just get a hob skimmer?

I would go with the HOB overflow as you will have better skimmer options with a sump. And adding more water volume is a plus, along with a place for your heater and your ato to go besides directly in the tank.

I was going to use everything u see. The eshopps sump and psk150 skimmer. I also have a jeabo 6000 return pump. But im kinda worried about having a hob overflow with these nice hardwood floors...

A lot of the newer ones aren't like the older ones from what I have been reading. But I have not used one

If you wanted an HOB skimmer, I think the AquaC Remora is a better option.

However....

Sell what you have.....and check this out for $213:
Tunze Comline® Reefpack 250

Gives you a skimmer and media filter module in one kit.

The filter module has internal space/mounts for your heater (which can be smaller now that it's in a powered shell) as well as ATO sensor.

Slick as snot – and no risk to your floors! :)

bubble magus nac3.5 or the chinese version from amazon/ebay; sca 301.

i'm using a sca301 and it pulls out a thick skimmate, couldn't be happier!

So in the pic thats a skimmer to the right, and auto top off resevoir on the left. What is that thing in the middle and that filter material for?
Looks pretty nice though. Just what im looking for!
