Question Skimmer for 75 Gallon tank??????

Hello, Everyone I am new to reef keeping and am trying to find a good in sump skimmer. There are so many brands I don't know where to start. I have a 75 gal tank and 30 gal sump.
If anyone could point me in the right direction to a great skimmer it will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Jason

I think these skimmers should be enough for your 75 gal :
- Barraquatic SK1020 (barraquatic )
- Euroreef RS100/RS135 (euroreef )

The Asm seems like a good skimmer. I was looking at a Berlin or a coarlife skimmer prior to this thread. However I wouldn't mind spending the extra $$ on an Asm.
The Barraquatic and Euroreef look like great skimmers but hits the wallet hard.

I second the asm. I use a g2, but would say to go ahead and get a g3. That way you may can use it when you upgrade, not to mention that clean water it good water

I just upgraded to a Coralife 125 for my 75 gallon and like it. Have no experience with the ASM but I hear they are really good.
