You'll want a skimmer rated at 2x your tank capacity. I REALLY like the ASM G-2 I just got a couple of weeks ago. It's truly Plug and Play! It took longer to open the box than to get it running. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

I agree 100% percent. Great reliable skimmer.

Yep!!! I a have an ASM is works well. If you want to get a skimmer that really rocks look at a Lifereef. I just got mine hooked up the day before yesterday. It skims at a rate which I find amazing. I have skimmed out more in teh last two days than my ASM has in the last week. Lifereef skimmers and sumps are great. But the ASM is still a good skimmer.
