Aqua C is a better skimmer but is also pricier. Personally I'd pay the extra money and go with the Aqua C over the bakpak. I have a bakpak on my 20 and although it does a pretty good job I'm not fully pleased with it. It helps if you take airline tubing and stick 2 airstones in the bubble side of the skimmer. It improved my skimming by at least a 1/3 or so.

I had both and I think hey just take up space. I think the skimmer performs better when the wateer the enters it is raw tsnk water and once the skimmer brakes in it doesn't shoot out any bubbles.
