Skimmer Help

I need help with skimmers. I have the eclipse hood, and I have little room for internal skimmers. So what would you suggest for a skimmer?

4 fish in a 29gallon right?
probably a seaclone 100 or 150...or a CPR bak-pak. Its unfortunate you're limited by the eclipse hood...its why I don't recommend them (well, one reason at least).

Honestly I'd consider ditching the hood and building a canopy, so you aren't limited to 1 or 2 skimmer choices. Don't get a Prism...they suck...bad.

I too have an eclipse hood and they are very limited to adding additions. I went ahead and built myself a refugium and will be putting a sea clone 100 in it.
