Re: skimmer ideas ?
I have heard good things about SWC cone skimmers. They work as well as the $1000+ alternatives out there, from what I've seen/heard.

Go with Reef Octopus. Awesome skimmers for a great price. Also, the customer service is outstanding and they are located in Slidell.

Pulled my old swc offline and replaced it with a bubblemagus nac6. I'm very happy I did.

aqua medic turboflotor. no bubbles in your tank... can hob or be in sump. fully adjustable in every way.
reefing just isnt the same living outside the glass....

I'm running a Vertex on my 65. It seems to be doing a good job as my only problem has been when I put an auto feeder on the tank over christmas for 2 fish. I think they have second generation models out. I'd get one again as its hard to beat the price.

Re: skimmer ideas ?
I used a CPR HOB skimmer 4 years with great sucess. I use a reef octopus skimmer now.
