    I need to get a skimmer for my 90g tank. It is a reef tank in progress. It will eventually be filled to the gills with LPS and SPS. The only skimmer I have experience with is the AquaC Remora HOB. It was a very nice skimmer and never had to fiddle with it. But I need an in-sump version, and they make the Urchin but I want to see what others would recommend for a tank like this

    I have a SWC 160 on my 90g. It works well and is very quiet.

    +2, SWC's are amazing skimmers and mikejrice from Elite Reef (3reef sponsor) in Denver, CO is the North American rep for them...or something along those lines.

    Upon reading reviews and recommendations by my LFS I went ahead and ordered the Reef Octopus Extreme XS 160... I got it for 295.99 from my LFS
