    Are you looking for a hang-on or a sump style skimmer?
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    I dont know if my sump has the space for a sump style, I would prefer sump style.

    This is how my wet/dry looks http://www.petsolutions.com/Pro+Clea...101877-C-.aspx

    So I guess let me know if I can fit it in there.

    The biggest most well designed possible. I have a skimmer rated for a 150+(ASM GX1 recirc) on and will be adding ozone soon(should also enhance skimmer efficiency).
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    :pukeleft: :pukeright: Not Good.

    Check out the Coralife Super Skimmer. I have one on my 55G and it does a great job at a reasonable price.

    The best would be a Deltec but it would kill your wallet.
