    I have been running a Red Sea Berlin Classic on my 40G and it's just not cutting it. Space is limited so I would like to stick with a hang-on type or one that can be run external under the stand with a 20G sump.

    I just don't know what is out there. Could anyone drop some names so I could research what would be best for my needs?

    Thanks
    Jason

    I love my Seaclone 100 HOB that works like a charm on my 20 gallon long!

    Hi Jason! Have you tried bumping up your pump? I use a 950 gph pump on my 58 gallon plus another 15 gal in the sump and is skimms like a pro!

    Or , you could just buy a new toy! ;D That is always good also!
