    guys i need some help about some of these skimmers ive seen. some of them have pretty good reviews. btw might even go bigger on the tank. 75g. :)

    whats your take on these:

    ASM Mini-G Protein Skimmer w/ PC-1000 -$125
    SCA-302 180 Gallon Protein Skimmer (in Sump) $150
    coralife 05272-$153

    I would say the SCA with the intention to eventually upgrade the pump would be your best bet.

    The overflow should be good with that pump considering the pump can be dialed back if it tries to outrun the overflow.

    OFK!!!! Where have you been?!?
