    I'm looking for a HOB skimmer for one of my quarantine tanks (55g). I have an AquaC Remora on another 55g and it seems to do a good job. I believe the Reef Octopus HOBs also get pretty good reviews. I would prefer to avoid any of the skimmers which have the pump internally mounted inside the skimmer due to maintenance challenges. I'd also prefer to avoid the Coralife Super Skimmer lineup.

    Let me know what you have available!

    I have a cpr bakpak 2 that looks quite similar to the reef octopus hob series. It's rated for 100 gallon tanks so it'd be good if you have a heavy bioload. It needs new pumps which I can order if you are interested

    Yeah I saw you had that listed actually. Don't suppose you'll be passing through the Des Moines area anytime soon?
