My friend is setting up a 75gal with a 20-30gal sump. What do you guys
think would be the optimal skimmer should he get. One big enough to somewhat ease the care of the tank? EV-120, EV-180, Urchin, or one of the EuroReef skimmers?? Thanks guy, it's appreciated. -- Ric Seyler |

Ev-120 if he never upgrades, Ev-180 if he might, or the EuroReef just because
it is the best out there. I prefer the EV series because removing the collection cup (which you do reasonably often) is nothing more than lifting it 1/4" and out. .

I like and use the Snailman's diy skimmer,
http://www.hawkfish.org/snailman/diy4inskimmer.htm , at least read, http://www.hawkfish.org/snailman/skimmer101.htm, this type of skimmer is very efficient and easy to build. Found a cool thread on RC with an interesting variation of a Becket skimmer, http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...5&pagenumber=2 , if you would like a skimmer that does not use air stones.
