175 Gallon Tank...Skimmer Recommendation

[PUFFY_SANCHEZ]

I need a skimmer for my 175 gallon tank. Any suggestions?

Might be helpful to post your Budget, as when it comes to Skimming you get what you pay for :)

Well I don't really have a budget. I mean I figure Bubble King are out of the question. I kind of want to get an idea of what people are using then see what they cost new and then watch the forums for a good deal. Around $350 though is my target.

Well the MSX200 is a pretty good skimmer, well worth a look. I don't own one but I've heard / read some very good reviews.

Mabe an MSX 250

Good suggestions so far, $350 for a skimmer on a 175 gallons is probably near bare-bones unless you're shopping used. Stick with the MSX/octopus line of skimmers and get the biggest one you can afford.

That is why I didn't want to give a dollar amount. Just give me your suggestions and don't be a *****.
