cora-life Needle wheel super skimmer. Go for the 220 and order onling i think you can get one for like 140$

Euroreef, or an ASM clone of Euroreef to save a buck.

I have always had good luck with the euroreefs, but they are not cheap. The ASM skimmers are just as good from what I have heard, and are less expensive. I would suggest you go with something bigger than what you actually need, because for some reason in the future you will probably get the itch to go to a bigger tank. I started with a 20g tank, then 40g, then 92g, then 125, and now I have a 240.........

Try having Ace build you one...

i need something that is really easy to use because if i have to adjust things on it every day i get confused or forget. i will have to look up the ones suggested and see what i can afford. thanks! jessica

I can't say enough good things about ER. Simple, and the new ones are even easier with the built in discharge adjustment. Set it and forget it.

HOB or IN-SUMP of course?

Euroreef, ASM, larger version of the Turbo Floater, and of course Deltec. A couple of these are probably more than you want to spend thouugh.

I can speak only of the ASM since that's what I owned at one point. If you go with it I'd suggest the G4 for that size tank with sump.

i own a coral life 125 and i must say when compared to some skimmers it does a decent job however if i had a tree that dropped dollar bills i would get a deltec>euro reef>ASM> then who knows but for now its the CSS til i finish school... spend the cash its an important piece of equipment... ASMs are on clearance at marine depot along with some other places
