    I have a Red Sea skimmer on my 45 gal. Contrary to what other 3Reefers have warned, I'm having no problems with it, and i've had it for over 2 years.

    I use the Dual pak cpr skimmer, two skimmers built into one. It works very well, i dump out a cup out of each one every day.

    I have an Aquatic Systems Design PS.RNW.6.1 on my 90g with 17g sump.

    It works well, but I don't have a high fish load, so it does not pull the goo it can. I will hopefully be testing its potential with a bigger tank soon enough.

    I currently run an ATB Econo 840 with large Purple pinwheel and a Hurricone CAT 2 External on my tank. I have owned Reeflo 200 Pro, Euro Reef 180, AquaC 120, Octopus NW 200, Octopus Extreme 160, Octopus Pro 200, DAS 1, PM bullet 1, Aquamedic Turbo floater, Red Devil sumpbuddy, along with a few others. The skimmers that I have owned range greatly in pricing but also in performance. By far the best skimmer I have owned to date is the ATB followed closely by the Hurricone and Reeflo.
