Well I just identified the protein skimmer that came with a 75 gallon RR I purchase about a month ago. It is the ETSS Reef Devil deluxe skimmer, so far I've really been happy with this skimmer.
I'm curious what skimmers you all use, and how dry of waste do you get in your collection cup. I need to purchase a new skimmer for my 120 gallon tank that I am setting up.

ASMS and Octopus brands generally give you good bang for your buck. If money is not a major concern look at MRC, Deltec and BubbleKing

I was looking at the reef octo xtreme 300 before joncat told me to take a look at msx.I ordered the msx 300 today which is the exact same thing as the octo xtreme 300 just different sticker and the msx was like $120 cheaper..theres a bunch a reviews on the net and they all seem to be pretty decent skimmers..Oh and p.s. its going on my 120 as well
just my $0.02

Surprisingly very few retailers of that skimmer.
Only one. MS stands for Marine Solutions, they are the only seller of the MSX skimmer. Like rigdon said, they are the same as the octopus extremes, the bodies are made at the same place. The MSX pinwheels pull more air than the octo's and they are cheaper. That is why I recommend them for everyone. Best deal for your $$ , without a doubt.

Yeah, I found a couple videos of that skimmer on youtube. Surprising how helpful youtube can be at times with aquariums. I'm going to use that skimmer.
After see the skimmer in use my ADD side saw DIY skimmers, so I looked at 2 liter bottle skimmers (I'm not sure how long I watched those videos).

aqua c ev-120. Very easy to tune and setup. I have it externally setup. Made of a high quality arcylic. It's a spray injection type so it's closer to wat happens in nature. Optional JG fitting. $300 no pump.
