    With my 55, I got the larger Eshopps psk100H....working good. I am new also, I read the choices for HOB, are AquaC, Eshopps, reef octopus....cant go wrong with either.

    Eshopps psk75h has been working fine for me. And, I was able to build a 30g algae scrubber/sump/fuge and it didn't take any space up like in sump models do.

    Love my Aquac Remora Pro on my 55. No need to even try out a different HOB skimmer.
