    corallife super skimmer. Get the needle wheel version and remember that manufacturers over rate their skimmers by 40-50%. At minimum I would get the superskimmer 125 and preferably the 220. If you plan on doing an in sump skimmer then I would recommend an octopus although the super skimmers can be used in sump as well as HOT.

    There are many question that need answers before We could recommend a good skimmer. Like do you want it internal or external, hang-on or in sump. will you be going Reef or fish only. how much money do you want to spend?
