OK Don't laugh but........

Great - thanks for all of your input - gonna check 'em all and decide which will work best 8)

 

Any external skmmer will still need a sump along side of it. Sounds like you still need to stick with an HOB. Which I know I read that the Octopus HOB Skimmers work very well. Think a few people here have them.

.....and hey......that prizm will have to get used. You know what that means? Yup. Another tank.

 

exactly

 

my prizm is about 5 yrs old and still running strong.its on a 55gallon with a 29 gallon sump.before that it was on a 29 gallon display i had to adjust it alot until i added the sump and then it quieted down and stayed steady.you might be pushing it with a 65 gallon but idk.

 

Your probably right! Thats why I was thinking of upgrading 8) Anyway, purchased a Aqua C Remora this morning after looking around for a while - I'll let you know what I think once it breaks in.

Thanks for everyone's input!!
