External Skimmer for a nano 22

[Danh Ngo]

I have a nano 22G mixed reef. I want to swap to a strong skimmer. I'm currently running a Aquaticlife 30G internal. I want something external and could support a heavy load for my tank because I want to add more live stock.
The current skimmer is okay with the bioload at the moment. But for sure if I add more stock, it could crash my tank.
Any idea or suggestion for a good EXTERNAL skimmer
Thank you

For a good external with higher bioload there's the Aqua-C Remora Pro or the Aquamaxx Cone-S.

are you going to use a sump or want a hang on back (HOB) skimmer?

Its a nano tank, hob would be more convenience. Dont have a sump

Can't go wrong with the Aqua C Remora or Aquamaxx HOB 1.5.

I had a JBJ AIO and ran a remora pro. It worked fine. Just had to keep the injector clean. More dark green tea than sludge but it worked well. I think the design and pump are better on the AM HOB, but the aesthetics of the remora may be better suited to some-- and the AM sits a bit higher. I dont have experience with the newer AM HOB skimmers but i ran a warner marine HOB H2 and it was a great skimmer (AM design copy).
