backpack

[everl0ng]

how would you all rate a backpack skimmer for a 20H? would it be sufficient? i have never seen anybody rate those for a smaller tank before, and right now i am not in the spot to be able to afford a nice worthy skimmer, so i was wondering if this one would make do for a while?

A coralife super skimmer would work alot better. Most lfs and online stores sell the 65 model for around $80. Heres what the 65 I had pulled:

I wouldn't buy the bak-pak. I have never had one on a tank smaller than 30 gallons, but I have always been disappointed with there performance. I would get the aquac remora nano(better yet though the regular sized remora skimmer). It is only a few dollars more, and a much better skimmer.

I have a 20h with a bak-pak. they are rated at 60g i think ! anyway mine works great. it took a couple of trys to get the colection cup at the right height. im sure the coralife would work also. I would stay away from the prizim skimmers. i hear nothing good about those.
