Any skimmer recommendations for a 75 gallon sps dominated tank?

I used a PM1 with a mag 12. It was a good skimmer, I just think it could be way better IF I had a larger pump running it, I plumbed it a little differently and I was running a gate valve instead of the elbows.

With my 180 I am going to use a SRO 5000 with a bubble blaster. If I had to do my 72 over I would probaly go with a needle wheel skimmer. The becket injector on the PM seemed to get plugged up with snail shells etc etc. ( I didnt have room to run a prefilter)

try the Bubble-Magus NAC-6 from Cadlights.com. am looking to get that to replace my Coralife needle wheel.

I like my Euro-reef RS 80. I am a week in and loving it. They have some new skimmers out at a lower price point now too.

How much room do you have? Insump or external?

if you have the cash and the space the red sea sea skim is awesome. it is a monster both in size and preformance
