    i would suggest the aqua c remoras they are easy to set up and very reliable from everything i've heard. i am using one of their products. (the urchin series) it was very easy to set up, takes up very little space which is why i bought it, and is already producing a good skimate. (it has only been operating for 3 days now) i did plenty of research before i bought, and ofcourse listened to the very knowledgable people on this site.

    I have in my 150:
    2 yellow tangs
    1 PB tang
    1 Hippo tang
    1 coral beauty
    1 orange spotted goby
    1 YW goby w/pistol shrimp
    1 cleaner wrasse
    2 false clowns
    1 purple fire fish
    1 foxface
    1 6 line wrasse
    30 blue hermits, 10 assorted snails, 2 sally lightfoot crabs, etc

    I absolutely run a skimmer, the Red Sea C-Skim 1200 but I WILL not reccomend it. Nothing but problems. But when it does work it pulls a lot of stuff. I empty it every 4 days or so.
    You want more livestock, for sure get a skimmer dude, you won't regret it.

    Look into Eshopps skimmers, they are built well, priced nicely and have little complaints about them.

    I would not worry about I have had far more then that in smaller tank KLook your fish are never going to get HUGE as people like to think I have 3 tangs now in a 90 2 are over 12 yrs old and one is 3 maybe 3.5" dia a sail fin and a hippo is maybe ?? 4" tops the newest is a convict tang was about 2" when we got him 3 yrs maybe 4 yrs ago and he could still do lap in a drinking glass . And interesting i find is who all base this on length of fish per gallon :) that engineer Goby will get about 12 to 15 " and stay about finger size in Dia .. But he will wipe you crabs and snails out over time and there is no catching them . Is it gone through the color and body changes yet ? The only thing I'd worry about is the Naso being harassed established tangs in there already .

    Yeah he changed colors already :) he looks awesome. The tangs don't show any agression past the first 2 days.
