What skimmer do you have in your....

What protein skimmer are you all using in your megaflow sumps? I have the largest model (4) sump and am looking for the best skimmer for a 120 gallon tank.

Also does anyone have diagrams or pictures on how they plumbed their returns?

Thanks!

I would recommend the H&S A150 if your budget will allow for this. It's one of the best skimmers I've ever used on my 175g tank and I have wasted money on quite a few skimmers that claim to perform well until I found this one.

Sorry, I don't own a megaflow sump as mine was custom made.

Thanks for the tip, I'm just not sure if it will fit in my sump or not...

The A150 can sit stand alone outside the sump, you have a choice to install in sump or externally.

If you could post the footprint you have available, height of the sump, maximum height of the skimmer, and budget, it would help people to make a recommendation.
