New Protein Skimmer

[ClownFishGuy6]

Just recently bought the IceCap K3 200 HOB protein skimmer, worst purchase of my life, although CoralVue was very willing to help, nothing did. I bought it and it was leaking from 3 different places, they sent me replacement parts and it was even leaking on the replacement parts from things that as a customer I shouldn't need to touch.

I am looking for a HOB skimmer for my 60G. I am really trying to find a top quality skimmer that $150-300 can get at least. Does anyone have any recommendations for HOB protein skimmers?

It's an in sump model. I bought it years ago and don't recall the model number. It's a cone skimmer, maybe an S-120 or something like that???
