imo aqua C and euro reef make the best advanced hobby skimmers.
if you want to go pro then go with a bubble king but be ready to shell out ATLEAST 2000.00 bucks for one.

I got an aqua c after reading a lot of reviews. Seems to do a nice job

If you have enough room, I would buy the biggest Euroreef you can afford. I have one for my 55g and it is great.

i have a new aqua c remora and after 2 days it has produced a surprising amount of bad stuff from my ver low stocked tank. Very good skimmer...best IMHO for any skimmer under 300$. worked in 24 hours but will not be fully opperational until a couple days. A++ for aqua c remora and it is on my 55 sps and clam tank. So clean water is a must. im very satisfied.

My Reef Creations and Deltec have the best skimmers out there.

I have a aqua c which does a great job and I have a cyclone one and again it seems to do a great job.

I liked my AquaC when I had a smaller tank and now I love my EuroReef on my larger tank.

DeltecMCE600...it a hang on if you do not have a sump...or it can hang on the sump or be in sump. Any Deltec will blow the doors of a Euro

I love my Marine Technical Concepts skimmer. Works great. Easy to clean.

As you see you will get varied responses.There are several great skimmers out there at the top of the list as far as cost,performance,durability.
I have an ASM G-2 on my 65 and a Euro-reef CS 5-2 on my 75. ASM is a cheaper version of a euro-reef and they both do an equally fantastic job. For design,I would choose the euro reef. If money is tight,get the ASM. They have a needle wheel pump..it chops the water into a finer foam.Good job researching first.

p.s. How do I know these are good skimmers? I used really cheap and inefficient ones for years. Aqua-C is another skimmer I work with..that is phenominal.
