Protein Skimmer 50gallons

[CanadaPoseidon]

Hey everyone.
I'm new to the hobby and looking for a protein skimmer for a long 50gallon tank. There is a lot of information in skimmers and have no clue what I should looking for. Any suggestions on types or models would be great.

Thank you.

Sump or no sump?

If sump;
+ 1 for the coneS CO 1. Perfect fit for a 50

The ssa cs5.5 would work well too but the NW impellers on the coneS series are quieter and create a finer bubble than the sk400 NW the ssa uses.

No sump? Hang on?

Reef octo bh1000, bh 90, eshopps pk100 or aquamaxx hob
