    I am looking to get a HOB skimmer for my 40 gallon breeder tank. I would like to know what you would recommend. I would like it to be at least rated for a 75 gallon aquarium. I know that doesn't mean that much. It actually houses a mantis shrimp and will be stocked full of LPS corals that I will be feeding Bi-Weekly. Thanks

    Reef octopus BH1000F (or the older style BH100) would be a good choice IME rated for a bit more than you need but a fine skimmer for a tank thats going to be fed heavy

    AquaC Remora Pro would be another good choice IMO

    I do like my other octopus skimmer so I am glad to hear good experiences with that HOB one. I will put that at the top of my list.
