long time away, Skimmer Help decisions?
I have been away for a long time. My skimmer (odyssea 150 skimmer) I think just finally gave out.. It has always been picky but skimmed decent. I am looking at getting a new proven skimmer for under 175 ish dollars.
My tank: 75 gallon 30 gallon refugium 15 gallon sump two clown fish, mixed reef two 250mh. Any helps or flames welcome

There are no proven skimmers in your price range for that size tank...Up it to 200bucks and you have the vertex IN 80, reef octopus DWB150 or a reef dynamics INS80(220)... of the three the vertex is best choice. Get to 270 and you can get a great skimmer... a seaside aquatics cs 5.5...
Oh, and these skimmers are more for your 75 without fuge... add the 30gal refuge and you really should go a little bigger... with money a factor... I would say the vertex IN100 might be the best skimmer choice out there for you and it is 220 bucks. |

Yeah, they have... good choice though if the OP will come up in budget a little. The SCa302 might be a good choice... Like a generic seaside aquatics/bubblemagus skimmer... OP... google it...
