Without money being a factor in this, what, in your opinion, are the top 3 hang-on-back protein skimmers to date?
I'm looking for one that will operate properly on a 29g, so I know many that are rated 50-75 gallons don't run properly on a 29g because the tank doesn't have enough organic compounds to keep a steady foam head at the collection cup.
I have an Eshopps PSK-75H laying around but I have my personal hatred for the company.
Whatever you guys suggest keep in mind the main things I am looking for:
Preferably As Quiet As Possible
No Bubbles Returning To Tank
Skimmer Pump Must Be Outside Of Tank
I really like the HOT Reef Octopus' with the surface skimmer option but they're for 100+ gallons unfortunately.
I saw a CPR that looked decent, but I have had issues in the past with CPR and their poor operation, extremely loud noises, and need for constant adjustment.
