I'd personally go with a reef octopus, ya it might cost a little more but you'll get so more out of it. Skimming is one area you can't be cheap in. What size tank?

36g bow front, lightly stocked 4-5 small fish max, cuc, future reef.

I'm using the aquaticlife skimmer on my 29g biocube. It can pull alot of gunk but it is a pain to dial in. But other than that I would buy another. lol In fact, this is my second one as the first one I got was used and only lasted me 2 years.

Theres not many small skimmer options for small tanks unfortunately. Other options that are more money include the hydor slim skim or a tunze9002 (i think thats the smaller one).

Then that would be perfect for you since it's a hang on back skimmer

Agreed took me a min to look for a skimmer that would work for your size tank

I was actually considering the slim skim nano is a great price and built very well.
