    There are a bunch of disparate posts referencing different skimmers. I'd like to have something quiet as possible as I'll have the tank in my living room.

    I've boiled it down to 2 (I think) but I'm open to suggestion. Both are rated for 100g. It seems like the next bump down is 75 which may be too small(????). Choices are:

    Vertex In-180 - does anyone have issues with the collection cup not fitting / lifting off under a standard height stand???

    Or

    ASM G-1 skimmer

    Any pro/cons to either or does anyone have any other recommendations???
