Best In-Sump Skimmer

[cedarreef]

I'm looking for a good in-sump skimmer that doesn't require extensive adjustment, works very well, and doesn't break the bank. What skimmers have you had good experiences with? I would love to hear some success stories. Thanks!

ive got an H&S skimmer (external)they make an internal too, that produces the nastiest skimmate, is extreamly quiet and is so simple to adjust, the quality of workmanship is excellent as well. It was well worth the investment!!!

Those look really nice, but I just can't afford a $300+ skimmer... I've been looking at the Reef Octopus. How are those?

I just bought an octopus. They are supposed to work great. Should be here Tuesday. I currently have a aquaC that is on my reef. Incredible skimmer. Lots of skimmate, dark, nassty, putrid stuff. They are unbelevably simple, almost no adjustment. You just move the cup up or down to control how wet you want the tar. How big is your tank?

I have a 46 gal. I take it you had the Aqua C Urchin?
