Right now I have an ASM G-2 on my 72 but going to a 120 so new skimmer time.

Will be running "in sump" and needlewheel

Looking to spend $200-$400

What would YOU buy?

One of the Octopus recirculating skimmers would be on my to look at list. AquaC EV 180 too.

Another vote for Reef Octopus DNW-200 Recirc. Have it running on my 120 and pretty pleased with it's performance. It is outskimming my old deltec 2 to 1 stock out of the box.

i would definately try and find a used deltec. i just recieved a APF 600 used and it is one the easiest most effecient skimmers out there and no one can compare

Check these http://www.protein-skimmer.com skimmers out!
If you're thinking of Octopus or Deltec you might want to check these out. I'm thinking about ordering one this week.

For $400 I would start religiously checking the used equipment forum for a nice used skimmer. Or you could go with a larger Octopus or ER skimmer.
