    Look for one that's rated about 2x your system volume, so something like 200 gals. What is the footprint of the skimmer section in your sump, and is it baffled/fixed water level? Skimmers are like cars...what is your budget? Kia, Toyota, or Ferarri?

    Here's what I'd get though. Super Reef Octopus XP2000 Internal SRO-XP2000I - English
    Back to the car analogy, Reef Octopus is kind of in the GM spectrum...like a Chevy Truck. The Super Reef Octopus is like the GMC Heavy Duty version. The new bubble blaster pumps are supposed to be the cats pajamas.

    Are cats pajamas really nice? A cat in pajamas, now that's funny!
