skimmer- good one for 65?

im looking for a new skimmer for my 65gallon reef, what brands are good (around $200-300) for that size a tank. i have a seaclone but im not to happy with it, it stops working a lot and i have to fiddle around with it to get it going again.

Tunze 910 DOC is pushing a liitle over 300 but it is a great skimmer. Thats what I would (did) go with after trying several others and it has worked the best for me.

Octopus 110 is what I have on my 65. Not the best but is wayyyy better than the seaclone.(No comparison really). I didn't like it at first but it has settled in and is stable from day to day. It pulls enough that I need to empty the cup about every 3 days. It performs reasonably well and is less than your budget allowance. I've never had the Tunze but everyone says their really good. I excluded the tunze based on price when I got my 110 and now regret it.

if you have a sump, look at a euroreef ES5-3. Great skimmer

I second Tunze 9010 if you have limited space.
