So I'm slowly planning on upgrading to a bigger system. (But really, who isn't?) I'm doing research when I can and I'm at the skimmer portion right now. I've been running a CPR backpack on a 37 gallon tank and its been doing a great job. I'm going to be getting a new tank, around 55 to 100 gallons and will have 30 gallons or so in the sump.

I've seen tons of different types of skimmers on the market with many kinds of styles in the way they skim the water. I'm looking to see what you guys/gals are running and what you WISH you were running on your systems. ^_^

Hopefully this will give me more direction in my never ending search. (well ending according to my bank account)

I'd see if Matt, Pete, or Alex can build you one. You can get it made to the size you want and have a local to fix any problems that could arise.
