advise on a skimmer for about 75 total gallons

[jmp21677]

I'm tired of messing with my 160 cone and want a new skimmer. This will go on a 60 cube with avg bio load. I have quite a few fish, but don't over feed. I'm trying to stay around 300 dollars. Any suggestions?

In sump

I've heard good things about the Black Pearl system. If you're a DIYer they sell a complete kit and you can build it yourself comes out to $299.98.

The REEF OCTOPUS line is pretty good as well.

I would recommend a AquaMaxx EM100. Great little skimmer and only $250. Very stable, small footprint of 8.6†x 6.3†x 21.7", just set it and forget it. You can read a write up I did about it Here - https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/eq...discussion/111356-aquamaxx-em100-skimmer.html

Vertex Omega 150 made ion the same factory as Bubble King but for a fraction of the price. I know about 5 other people I have recommended this skimmer to who absolutly love it!!!

Agree. Let's figure out what's wrong with yours before you decide to buy a new one.

Thanks for that input Lawman. That I like to hear, I tell people to get those things, have heard nothing but good things.

I have the same knock off. Its the sca-301. I got mine off a user here used for $70 shipped. Best $70 spent on my tank thus far. I have a 33L with 20L sump, roughly 40G total volume. Works awesome.
