    okthanks.
    so I guess i will be looking at either a coralife super skimmer or octopus.
    I see there are several different models of the octopus. Are some better than others or are the just different because they do larger tanks.

    What is expensive? you can get a decent skimmer for under 100.

    I dont know how well that one skimms but I have an Octopus ns 120 on my 55 (in sump) and it works great. I really like the look of the one you found and especially like the way the bubble trap is built into the side like that. Might also make a nice very small fuge.
