    What would be my best option for a skimmer for a 75 with a 40 sump under $200?

    I run an swc160 extreme on my 90gal and it works really well. a little more then 200. about 270 I think, but a skimmer isn't something you want to skimp on. swcskimmers.com is the websight and they are sponsers of 3reef.

    I scored an aquaC ev series from craighslist for 50 bucks that with a little tlc looked like new. I absolutely love it. I'm sure something similair could be had for a great deal around you. However, that swc is pretty sick! Reef octopus also is pretty nice for around that price point.
