Skimmer

WIth sump, fuge, and MT, i have an equated 140g of water. I need a good skimmer for about $200. Id prefer new but open to suggestions. Im hoping you experts can point me in the right direction. The foot print i have to work with is about 10" diameter. Please help, and thanks in advance.

10" diameter is a tough one for under 200. The only skimmer i can think of that will handle a tank that size for under 200 is a octo 200, it will work well but i'm not sure if it'll fit.

Under $200 is tough...I think you'll eventually have to mod the Octo 200, but luke33 may know more about that.

the Octo 200 is the only thing that comes to mind in that $$ range
