What would you guys say is the best hang on skimmer for cheap? I have a CSS 65 but I doubt it will do hang on well. I once had a wet/dry and I put the skimmer in the sump part but with my new setup for a reef I'm not doing a sump or wet/dry because it is to annoying and costly. I have an emperor 400 running which is great and I just won a C-360 from marineland. So I'll just do a hang on/canister setup with powerheads (maybe Koralias) for flow.

be careful with all that mechanical filtration because i had EXACTLY what you have! i once had 2 emperor 400`s on my tank, a koralia 3 that i still use and recommend to ne one with a sw tank and a canister filter and with all that power, my tank seemed to have an extremely high amount of micro bubbles so i got rid of everything except the koralias and bought an aquac remora pro and it was the best thing ive ever done and now my tank is CRYSTAL clear!!!
so thats what i recommend

I like the Coralife and Seaclone skimmers . I use the Seaclone HOB in my 75 and works great and not a bad price either .

some of the better ones. the cheaper decent ones already suggested.
deltec MCE600 MSRP $491 with aqua-bee NW pump

Bermuda Aquatics Rogue wave venturi MSRP $295 supply your own pump

turboflotor multi. street price $220ish with OR NW pump (have no idea MSRP) more of a hang on the side due to behind the tank space needed.

it actually works better for pure performance but there will be growing pains if you chose to use it (few people have not gotten a wet floor during the learning phase including myself).
