Best filter for a 30 gallon

The fact that you have filter feeders does not negate the preference for a skimmer. Remember that the skimmer won't remove absolutely everything from the water, just most of the junk. The filter feeders will likely get enough food just from your feedings.

Bottom line, I'd strongly recommend a quality skimmer over a HOB filter, anyday. I have a 30g tank that I use as a quarantine tank, and I use an emperor 400 on it. And even that doesn't do a great job if I have a high bioload.

 

I ran a penguin bio 200 for a while on my 30 along with a skimmer.. I fast realized that my skimmer was kicking the biowheels butt up and down so I got rid of it all together.. Get a skimmer, you wont regret it..
