What would be the ultimate skimmer for a 20 - 29 gallon long fish and coral/ anenome stocked tank?

Aqua C remora HOB

CPR BAK Pak HOB

Octopus HOB Skimmer

Coral life HOB

Tunze Nano Pack

others.....

I'm planning on doing a long setup that I will evenutally move to a 40 gallon breeder. What would be the BEST HOB skimmer to use that is also QUIET?

the best would be to add a sump and get a in-sump skimmer, IMO.

the main prob with HOB skimmers is they almost always put micro bubbles into the tank. I had a CSS 125 on my 26gal and it worked okay. From what i've read the Deltec HOB are the best hang on out there...but pricey:)

Out of your list i'd get the octo. Many are having success with them and there is a large thread goin around about them as well.
