I keep seeing the Oyster shell thing popping up in threads from time to time. Please don't use them. Oysters store inorganic PO4 in their shells....
seriously???? I've been making skimmers for 13 years now. Since '95 I have never once bought a commercial skimmer. Look around on the DIY section....
ASM is old news. I wouldn't get one. The body is cheapo polycarb. Octopus and most mid-grade skimmers use cellcast acrylics. Not to mention I think...
Once you bring your problem under control its a god idea to run a iron based GFO such as ROWAphos or Pura at all times in a filterbag or reactor....
Octopus PRO 250 Skimmer w/pump: Premium Aquatics Octo Pro250! If you can swing it this thing is a beast. Otherwise might go with the Octopus NW-200...

101cm=40" 10cm=4" I was just think why no put the skimmer under the tank? You are planning a sump right? Theres plenty of short fat bubbleplate...
