    I'm looking for a good skimmer for a 66 gallon tank with sump. I've been out of the hobby for a few years so I'm not up to date on the newest models. I used to run a PM125. Any suggestions? Budget friendly is nice too. Thanks.

    I use a Reef Octopus Skimmer doing very well for me.

    I have a 70 gallon and just bought the SCA 302 off Amazon a couple months ago. Rated up to 180 but I am a believer ib skinners are underrated so went with something bigger. I like it a lot. Was so easy to dual in. They say it is the same as the bubble Magnus but was cheaper for me

    Newreef, thanks for the link. That is a great deal and I ended up going with that model. I also got 70lbs of Fiji rock at the same time. I really like bulk reef supply.
