Protein skimmer for a 75g

[kniquy]

I am in the process of setting up my 75gal reef tank. It will have a 29g sump (which is just my old tank). I need to find either a hang on or in sump skimmer. I presently have a Prizm which states that it is suitable for tanks up to 90g. My LFS said that it really won't be enough. Is this true and if so what do you all have or recommend to get. I guess you can never have too much of a protein skimmer.
Price is somewhat of a consideration also

I wouldn't use Prizm on your 75. It's actually 75 plus X gallons that your sump will contain. Prizm is rated for up to 90 but does best in tanks around 45.

I run a EuroReef CS6-2 in my 29 gal sump...works like a beast and simple to set up. Maintenance is easy too...cost will be close to $325 I think....check the EuroReef line before you get something else.

I use a Prizm Pro on my 58 gallon with 20 gallon sump. It works great. It is also rated for up to 300 gallon tank.
I have an extra one if you need it. Just e-mail.

Not sure what skimmer is best but I can tell you the Prizm $ucks. I have it and it is a piece of junk. It has never worked right and it is loud. Not a skimmer for a tank in a social or quiet room.

I would personally use the remora pro...but make sure you get the one with the mag drive pump and not the rio one...Its a in the tank skimmer, probably more appropriate for systems w/o a sump...

Now that I have gotten all this great advise on the best skimmers out there does anyone have any good web sites to look at. I love my LFS for info and live stock but for dry goods it tends to be a bit $$$

Where the hell are you finding the CS6-2 for $325?
