Any suggestions for a good skimmer for this? Its 29 gal hqi. Can't seem to come to a solution. Could use some help please

I just asked something similar to this!

To quote kbuser92 " I would look into a Hydor Slim Skim or an AquaC Nano/Remora"

I also saw aquaticlife 115. Any info on that?

I have an aquaticlife 115, although i dont have a cube its just running in my tank. Works great, i beleive it was around 75 bucks. One little mod you should do to raise the air intake, other than that a great little skimmer.

Thanks. That's the one I think I'm gonna get

+1 Washburn82 I have the same skimmer. Do the mod if you have your water high or if the flow in your tank makes water splash into the intake. Also it will produce micro bubbles for the first 2 weeks while it breaks in. It is a great skimmer for a great price.

Thanks. I have both issues. I noticed that the filter in the middle of the hqi gets clogged with in 2 weeks which changes the entire flow of the system. Water does not seem to be able to pass fast enough so I move the filter slightly to give it a little gap for flow. Anyone else have this problem?
