    Hi, I have a 215g tank with a 60g sump. This is a new setup with saltwater and sand only. Live rock is coming in about 2 weeks. I need a skimmer that I can install in the sump or hang-on the sump. I have a 34" height in the sump. I want anyone to recommend a good skimmer that is easy to setup, dial-in, run, etc. It has to be forgiving as far as water level, etc. I've been looking at tons of skimmers, but can't decide what to get. I've never used a skimmer before, so any help is very appreciated. Thanks,

    You know, with that size tank, you can pretty much get any skimmer you want. They are pretty straight forward to setup and very easy to maintain. All you have to do is empty the collection cup.
