Default HOB Skimmer for a mixed 33g

I was looking for some input on a new skimmer for my 33g. I have no sump so it must be HOB. Mostly softies with a couple sps 2 clowns and one coral beauty. I'm running a Aqua euro skimmer and not impressed with it at all.


Thnx for any input.

If cost isn't an issue the Deltec MCE300 is one of the best HOB skimmers. It's just under $300 though.

the Tunze 9002 is a great option too, and you find used relitically easily in the hardware section for about $100

Default HOB Skimmer for a mixed 33g

Deltec mce300 works great, I have a 50g with fish and softies at my parents house that I (try to find time to) take care of for them, and after running skimmerless for a few years I finally decided to do myself a favour and throw a good HOB skimmer on there so I wouldn't have to go over there so much to do tank maintenance... anyway here's a pic of 1 weeks skimmate, this was early on it now only pulls a little over half that per week (guess it's caught up tanks looking better) but still...well worth the $ in my opinion.
