WTB a new skimmer but what do i get?

[LSBBA]

I want a skimmer for my jbj 28g led tank. I have the oceanic skimmer and it <u>SUCKS </u>!!! I recently bought a nice skimmer the AquaticLife Internal Mini Skimmer 115 for my freshwater/saltwater setup and that thing kicks the pants of this biocube skimmer! So what can i get that would be better than what I have ?

P.S. what else do I need to add to my new saltwater/freshwater tank side by side setup. Do I need to get a filter for it? The LFS is just using a skimmer and koriola (sp) powerhead so, that is what I am using.

CPR Bak Pak is working well for me. It's on my 29g tank. There's better ones, but they cost more $$$.

i'll pay 130 bucks if it actually works. My other skimmer cost around 75 and I was expecting to spend that again

I use the HOB Reef Octopus Skimmer on my JBJ 24dx and I have to clean the collection cup every 2-3 days.

If you do decide to get it, you may want to call them to see if it will fit your tank. If I remember correctly, I believe that you might have to extend some of the piping.

You could always do the AquaC Remora with a maxi-jet 1200 attached.

When you add your skimmer, you have to make sure to top off your water everyday so the intake has enough water. I have to top off 2x a day.

I also recommend the Aqua-C Remora.
