    What are everyone's favorite skimmers? I have a 55 gallon with a aquac remora pro but I'd like to find an in sump skimmer to remove the eye sore!

    Is the aquac ev-120 ok? It would be nice to have the external option I think.

    That is a great skimmer from what I have read. I have an Eshopps PSK-150 and love it. You could probably go down to the PSK-100 without any issues.
