Protein skimmer wish list!

[csreed]

Hi everyone,
I've been researching new protein skimmers for my Christmas wish list & I need help! I've got a 200 gal tank + 10-20 gallon sump (never measured it[emoji4]) & my hubby & I want to get a zebra moray. Right now we have a 15-y/o Venturi protein skimmer. We're thinking we need an upgrade before the eel. We don't have the funds to buy cool new equipment just for fun, so whatever we get needs to built to last. Can you give me ideas? And the best place to buy?

Thanks!!!

Cynthia

Money greatly effects the protein skimmer you can get. Budget? Height available in or out of a sump?

Not sure about budget, although I'm really hoping to keep it below $250 or so. I'd remove the current Venturi system for the new skimmer in the under-the-tank cabinet - total height available is a tight 22" max.
