    I like my Reefoctopus BH 100. Its the only HOB skimmer I've had experience with but after a couple days of break in time it is pulling heavier skimmate everyday.

    For a sump,

    The SC65 is by far the best bang for the buck at under $100, shipped to your door.

    Check out Ebay fro the product. I'm currenlty running the larger model, the SC150, on my 125.

    I'm sure NORGs suggestion works good too.

    I'm using the AquaMaxx HOB on a 28 gallon nano reef. No complaints after 6 months use.
