There are so many contrasting reviews on skimmers I am more confused than ever.

Right now I have a budge of around 100 dollars and I need a good skimmer for my 55 gallon tank.

Keep in mind that I am completely new to reefing. Currently I have 70 pounds of live rock, 25 pounds of live sand, and some mushrooms.

I plan on adding as much soft corals that i can grow under my 4x65 PC's and a fish or two.

First I considered a used aqua c, then a typhoon, and a coralife super skimmer. Every time I have my heart set on one I read something terrible.

So which is the down to earth satisfactory skimmer for a new reefkeeper?

Thanks for your time,
Logan

get the typhoon a good skimmer for a great price, get the anit-siphon kit and silencer from D&D marine for free as well.
