I have set up a 30 gal QT with a 150 watt heater, penguin 200B HOT filter, and a maxijet 600. I want to keep water quality good in the tank so I have decided to pick up a skimmer for my 30 gallon QT tank that I will be shutting off if I medicate with cupramine or any other meds. I'm not looking to break the bank since I bought a remora pro from Captivereefs a month ago for my 75 gal. I was thinking about getting the cpr bakpak from captivereefs with the maxijet 1200. I'm not completely opposed to spending the extra $35 to upgrade to the aquac remora, but I'm wondering if it is necessary to spend the extra cash for a skimmer for a QT. I'm planning on using the QT as a FO tank when I'm done stocking the main so I figure I should just get a skimmer now. I've been hearing some bad things about the bio-bale, but Darin does not list if the bakpak2r comes with the maxijet pump as well since I don't want a Rio pump. So which skimmer do you recommend....cpr bakpak w/ mj1200, bakpak2r, or remora?
