The best skimmer

[triggerman888]

What is the best skimmer, HOB or in-sump, for a 55 gallon that is under $200.

I think an in sump skimmer is better then the HOB kind if you have a sump ready. I'd get a ASM G1. It's about $180 and just as good as a Euro-Reef.

In sump get the rs-80 euro reef, fits right in your price range, easy to clean, easy to use, cant beat it !

I would think in sump gives you more flexibility, there is a third option which is external out of sump too.

What ever you do make sure you get something rated at more than a 55.

I second that!!!!!

Much nicer then ASM

Yes the euro reef is much nicer looking than a ASM but they both seem to work as good as the other one

i second the recirculating skimmer, check out octopus skimmers, they arent euro-reef, but they are great skimmers!

There is a good deal on the ER RS80. The Extruded Promo skimmer (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=EURO) is only $179.
