A quick hello - Page 2

You are already headed in the exact direction I would send you for skimmers.
If you have a sump, I love the ASM G series of skimmers. I have one on each of my tanks with sumps.
If you don't have a sump and need to get a HOB skimmer, I love the Aqua C Remora. That is what I have on my 20g and it works great.
Always go for a skimmer rated for double the water volume you actually have in the tank. Most manufacturers overrate their skimmers so it is a good idea to go with a bigger one than you think you need.
Check out our sponsors for some great prices on skimmers. Two of mine came from Premium Aquatics.

Thank you kindly for the advice, Lynn (on both the skimmers and the sponsors).

And hello Vicki!
