Skimmer busted a leak, need new skimmer

I'm sure you guys remember my skimmer having issues before with it never working right. Well for the past month or two my octopus bh 800s had been leaking and causing a lot of water loss, roughly only 1 or 2 gallons, but that's a lot of constant water sitting on the second story floor.

For a while I had thought it was the filter sock causing the issue, but this time it was not, and the bottom of the skimmer was soaking wet.

So now it's time for a new skimmer, I seriously have to get one this time since my skimmer has finally failed on me for the last time, and I will be going skimmerless until I can get a new one.

So any ideas on a HOB, has to be HOB that will fit on a 46 bow, and be able to support a large bioload.

Price needs to be $300 max

 

the coralife super skimmer 125.....or 65....

Aqua C rumoura or what ever it is lol

 

I love my SWC skimmer its an HOB and its a beast on the heaviest of loads still rated for like 70 or 90 gal. very well priced too.

 

by chance do you have a link to this skimmer

 

I've heard decent things about the coralife and good reviews on the aqua c

 

Inb4 "get a sump".

 

have you thought about patching your skimmer up with some sealent. it would save you/your parents alot of money.

 

Hang On Skimmers they are a sponsor and make a great product been running mine for a few months and man its rock solid. and super quiet

 

I wish I could

 

This skimmer is honestly not worth the trouble, I have had non stop issues with it over the past 8 months and have been putting off getting a new skimmer, and now the time has finally come to where I have to get one.

Oh and my parents don't pay for anything, although I wish they would, I'd sure save me a lot of money
