Are Nautilus skimmers any good? I can get one for about 60 bucks. Would this be good for my 50g with 29 g fuge.

Well, I had one (several years ago) and it worked but not very well. I can't say much about the new ones because I don't think I've seen one. I will pass on one bit tho. The Coralife Super Skimmer with the needle wheel impeller is supposed to be a very nice unit for the money. Compare prices on the 2 and if the coralife is close I'd go with it. A bunch of glowing reviews have been posted on them recently. Check out the product review sections for more insight before you jump at the Kent.

So which would I want, the CSS 125 or the CSS 210?

I think the 210 would be overkill. the 125 will cover you now and even if you decide to move up to a 75 and a bigger sump later on. Take a good look at everything in your price range and even dig around for a deal on an ASM or Euro. From time to time you'll find them on Ebay or other forums cheap and passing up one for $100 or so would be a mistake over even a new Kent Naut. or CSS....
