tagging along, got about 60 gallon tank with 20 gallon sump and I would like to know the same. A skimmer in the sump isn't an opition because of lack of space.

So far this is what I have heard

Tunze 9005/9010
Deltect MCE600

tunze 9010 (not really hob as it sits inside the tank, but it is small) or a bermuda rogue wave.

Depending on you budget and bio-load, go with either the AquaC Remora or the Remora Pro. Easy to install and minimal tweaking.

Great company too.

How about a Deltec MCE 300? I have one on a 20G and love it. Check out the review in the Deltec forum.

If you were to decide on an AquaC hang-on skimmer, I'd go with a pump slightly above their recommendations and put a valve on it just in case you need to throttle it back a little bit. Most people report that they're much happier with a larger pump, as it makes them skim better with the "spray injection" technology or whatever it is.

Tunze 9010. I replaced a Remora with a 9010 (in-tank) in my sumpless 65g, it was a significant upgrade.
