    Question need your recomendations

    once again im asking help to choose a good protein skimmer around the 200$ level.ive never had one so i have no idea what to get,even though ive read up on them so much. (heres some info about my tank that you will prolly need to help me)

    size: 75 gallons

    how much fish: only two now, but ill have somewhere around 8 when im done

    corals: none now, but im going so get some ASAP(i need a skimmer first!)and a anenome.

    i need a hang on and a in sump because i dont have a refugium atm, but when i do get one i want it to go in the sump


    if you need more info just ask me.
    and please tell me some choices, because i would like to choose one ASAP.

    thanks for your time,
    jesse
