External skimmer advice please

[tonym10]

I have an AquaC EV120 on my 75g for 2 years and it is just so inconsistant that I have decided to get a new skimmer. I am considering Geo or Euro. I prefer Geo but I do not see where he has a recirculating skimmer model. I have a return line from my return pump that feeds my refugium , I was thinking I could use that line to feed the external skimmer and then return the water to the refugium from the skimmer. I am thinking to go with an external skimmer becasue I have only 26" to work with if I put the skimmer in my sump. I would like a skimmer that would handle a 180g tank or larger so if I upgrade my tank in the future I do not need to upgrade my skimmer too. So can anyone give me advice on what skimmer to go with?
Thanks

What's your budget? H&S make some nice external skimmers.

Thanks that A150 looks interesting and is in my budget. The Euro similar size would be a couple hundred more, I havnt heard anything back from Geo yet.
Would you say that all three of these skimmers pretty much will work the same way, one as good as the othere, looking at there specs it looks that way to me.

Look at Deltec as well.

How about the asm g4 with the recirc mod?

ASM skimmers aren't external. They all leak.

GEO will make an external. I had one

I am leaning toward a Geo, I contacted him, but not sure if he has any instock, and I dont know how long it will take to make one, and I really would like to get this upgrade done quickly. How long did it take you to get one made by Geo?
Why did you change brands from A Geo to what?

Haven't the faintest idea. It was 2-3 years ago

Geo just got back to me, he may have one for me. That will make me really happy, all my other equipment is Geo.

My search is done. Geo had one , and I just bought it. I cant wait to get it and set it up.
