Looking for information on a good recirculating skimmer

I am looking for a skimmer that will be used for a frag tank. I am looking for suggestions on a recirc skimmer. The tank will be approx 75 gallon volume with sump.

Octo's, deltec's, ER's, H&S....etc but the das will be your best choice for a 75g imo.

don't forget to look at Euro-Reef RC...I think they are built like a TANK....

That looks/sounds like a great skimmer for the price. Anyone else use it and love it? Any complaints? I was thinking about purchasing an Octopus DNW150, but I may get this skimmer instead. Would you guys recommend this skimmer over a Euro-Reef RS 100? For a 75 gallon mixed reef tank, med. bioload.
