Protein Skimmers, too many options, my head hurts!
Ok, so I am trying to figure out what kind of protein skimmer to buy for my new 120g. There are so many different brands and design styles (venturi, needle wheel, air injection, recirculating, etc) -- I am so confused. This is what I do know:
I don't want to spend any more than 300 It must fit in the 75g sump I am building I am not opposed to picking up something used from someone to save some cash Noise is not that big of an issue for me, but I don't want something super loud Lastly, and most obvious, I want it to work well! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

MSX 200 great bang for the buck, and now their 3 more options for pin wheels, two purple ones and the red demon from Warner Marine. Good luck

OCTO EXTREME 200 or MSX 200
if you can go for an extra 100 bucks http://www.reefspecialty.com/Protein...duct_info.html These really are the best bang for the buck.
