Skimmer Suggestions
I am going to set my 100 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump up again. Any suggestions on a skimmer under $200?

Maybe take a look at the SCA skimmers.

Keep an eye on the for sale forum. Lots of great deals out there. I picked up a reef octopus nwb 150 shipped for 150 bucks. It's working great on my 75 gal system

I definitely suggest raising the budget by $100 or so if possible. If your willing to do that there's a few decent skimmers to choose from.
I personally like aquamaxx. I've had 5 of them and every single one has performed very well. |

+1 The only way you're gonna find anything for that sized tank for 200 bucks is used Not the piece of equipment you want to skimp on IMO

If on a budget, I think Aquamaxx is a great way to go. I'm running one on my 120, and it's fantastic. I'm planning on upgrading to an external/recirculating at some point in the near future, partially just for ease of maintenance and opening up more sump space, but I do love my EM300!

Reef octopus xp1000 top of the line! Watch for a used one, you should be able to get it for around $200
