Best skimmer for 44 gallon?

[agREEFs]

I want a Hang on Back (HOB) skimmer for my 44 gallon. Any recommendations? I went thru 2 but cannot find the perfect one.

I tried the HOB that icecap makes and it was really bad quality. Stay away from that one. If you can fit the Reef Octopus HOB model Id say that ones worth mentioning. I had an IM Ghost and I don't think it was really effective. For my current build (I have a 40g) I couldn't fit any decent HOB on the tank so I went with the Reef Octopus 110 EXT and I am very happy with it and I believe it'll take me into my next build as well. You'll need to just get it up to height behind your tank. Worked out quite well for me, easy to maintain. Check my build thread if you're interested.
