    Hey every one i just moved in my 150 gallon corner tank and was needing some advise. the tank is going to be fish and inverts but no coral. (well maybe some zoas/mushrooms when i upgrade light) I was ordering my stuff to set it up and was wondering which would be the best option for my protein skimmer . It needs to be $300 or less (I know resticted budget) I have picked out a few and was wondering on everyone's imput. Thanks for any help!

    Marineland Marine Series In-sump Model 300

    Eshopps In-sump Model PSK-200

    Berlin X2 Turbo

    p.s. all of these was found at drsfostersmith.com or maybe someone else has a better skimmer idea
