    Alright so I'll be setting up a 75gal reef tank. I've been told to go with a skimmer rated to at least twice what it will skim. I'm fine with that but I don't know what brand to go with. I'm looking to spend a maximum of $400. I don't really have plans on loading it up with fish but it's definately going to have some organics to clean up.

    I would look at ASM, Octopus, or PM.
