There is a whole thread on this that has been posted on within the last couple days. I know that you will need to get a converter to run the pump, as it comes in 220

220?

220v at 50Hz. Converting voltage isn't the problem with pumps. Its the faster frequency in the US.

The Euro companies have spent a lot of time and money to get their pumps to run on the US voltage/frequency (120v 60Hz).

Unless this is some very special pump, it won't last long on our 60Hz frequency.

Kent does not make a very powerful skimmer.

Whats you budget?

Do you want insump or external? Is this for your 75?

There are a lot of options out there now. A little more info might help us point you in the right direction:)

There are so many new chinese imports on the market, I can't really keep up. Here is a list of what I think may help:

MSX extreme
Octo extreme
Reef Octopus
DAS

There are threads and club threads about most of these skimmers.

You can also pick up a euro-reef RS80 for about $250 if you can afford the extra $50.

Good luck.
