    On Ebay they have many CPR Bak Pak's for very reasonable prices ($84-99). When brand new I think these range from 149.99 to 199.99

    Does anyone here have any experience with this brand of skimmer? What do you think about it being a factory repair? If you can think of anything else please put in your input.

    I've used & love CPR products for smaller tanks (20g, 30g, 55g). Also, I was having problems with one model that had the little adjustment screw "stripped out" so you could not adjust the skimmate? I sent it in to them & they repaired & covered shipping costs. I got it back in less than a week. I really think they just gave me an upgraded model of the same instead of my old model in return.

    Thanks for your input, It would be for a 29g. Until I graduate college and have a place of my own and can really set up something nice :)

    Absolute junk. CPR's are right there with Coralife SS's, which are just a margin above Jebo. Don't skimp on the skimmer, you will regret it. Look to Octopus, Aqua Medic, or Aqua C for quality lower priced hang on skimmers for smaller tanks.
