Sump and skimmer recommendation

[Picoflreefer.]

Just picked up a 75 gallon long tank. Trying to find out the best size sump and skimmer for my set up ? Its going to be lps dominate . Not exactly sure what I should be running. Please help!!! I was looking at the eshopps rs-100 sump and the reef octopus 110? Will this be enough??

A lot depends on budget but synergy reef and trigger are very good and for budget minded- aqueon and skimz.

skimmers:
Reef octopus
Skimz
Ice cap
Nyos

I recommend a sump that comes with or can accommodate a roller mat. (I use a Trigger Platinum 34)

I am not a big proponent of skimmers for filtration, but highly recommend them for aeration in conjunction with outside air or a CO2 scrubber if you need to deal with elevated CO2 in the house. (I use an Aeraqua Duo - dead silent and highly tuneable for aeration)

I also need a return pump . Thinking I need like 750 gph external pump but not sure what brand to go with. Do you have any suggestions?

Lifereef makes good sumps and skimmers.

I'm the one who says no sump no skimmer....but on new tank I would run at least a skim
...then wean it off after a year. If it's only LPS....just throwing it out there..... que the attack lol..

I have a 75g and eshopps r200.
Reef Octopus is a good brand.
The 1050 gph model fits in the return area, which is tight
