Help choosing skimmer size and brand

Looking for a skimmer to place in a sump for a 90 gallon tank.

It will have corals and loaded with fish....


I have looked at different models but I can't decide on what size to get..


Would really like to stay around the $200.00 range maybe a little higher.

Any input, comments or recommendations are welcome...



Thanks

BenRaines

Try EBAY or the selling forum here. You can get good deals if you watch for them.

$200 is a bit on the low side, but look at the ASM G1-X, G2, G3. They are in that range.

You might get a beckett skimmer in that range but then need to spend more on a pressure rated pump.
