Aquamax Hob 1.5

[Havoks]

What do you guys think about the Hob 1.5? I am thinking of getting it to replace the Ghost Skimmer Desktop in my Fusion 20.

Had the original version and only mounted it to see how it will look like and it is just too bulky for my IM40- don’t like the way it sits on a rimless tank.
I heard it does the job well.

I have had Skittler, AquaC, and a few other HOB skimmers over the years. Without a doubt this is the best of any I have ever ran across. Set it and forget it. I had this on an overstocked 40gl cube never any issues, and the best thing is this skimmer is dead silent yes its that quiet. If I could find any fault it would be micro bubbles at times, but that can be remedied by adding the bubble stopper sold as an option not a necessity. IMO I would give this skimmer 4 thumbs up if I had that many thumbs.

I had one on my 60 gallon which was my first salt water tank. That thing skimmed like a champ. It was easy to adjust and set up skimmed wet or dry well. It was well worth the money for me. I could see how it would be bulky for some. I dont mind having room behind the tank. I worked out fine for me. If I didn't have a sump I'd buy another one in a heart beat.
