Ok guys, I tried to find a pre-drilled tank and a stand to match, I find one and not the other (used). so I'm going to pick up a fairly new 75 gallon tank with matching stand about 4 month old from someone that upgraded to a bigger tanks, So I'm going have to deal with the hang on filter and skimmer for now which I don't mind cause I have base board hot water heater against my wall, so I can't put the tank flush against the wall any way, What are the best ones out there, Canister ect.... for the money and size??

Reef octopus is a great brand. Can't go wrong. Eshopps is an economy brand that could get you by until you decide to upgrade.

Then again, you may not need a skimmer for the first six months anyways.
