What skimmer is your preffered favorite? I just got a used Berlin
Classic for my 50 gallon. that makes foam about half the time since
it's been set up (only 5 days now). I was talking around and heard of
the Reef Devil and the Evolution 500 and thought they sounded a bit
nicer than my own right now

My LFS said that if I wanted to keep the amount of fish I wanted to
have I'd need a better skimmer. I want to have a school of chromis
(not sure how many 5 to 6) or some dottybacks (my gf wants the
dottybacks but we already have one chromis and I want a school ),
mated common clowns, a wrass, and a (show fish) yellow tank or dwarf
butterfly or something. One person said we should only have one
chromis in our 50 gallon acrylic (36" x 15" x 18.5' high) but we want
to have more then one fish in our reef.

Any thoughts on the fish ammount / skimmer we should have?

the Aqua-C Remora Pro w/ Mag 3 is your best choice for a HOB (hang on the
back) type, if you have a sump then go with a Euro-Reef.

no comments on your fish list.
