    As of this moment in time I've got a 46g DT with a 20g sump and a coralife 65 skimmer that seems to work pretty good in sump. Thinking about going with a coralife 125 for my 75g I'm putting together. It will have a 30g sump. Any opinions on a good skimmer or will the coralife be all right?

    get a reef octopus.. I just got one.. I used to have a coralife 65 and the quality alone of the octopus will make you never want a cheap skimmer again.. Reef Octopus Needle/Pin Wheel Protein Skimmer

    and now I just noticed that the price dropped $20 from when I bought it a week ago.. geeze it would be my luck, lol.. Its a wonderful skimmer.
