Protein Skimmer Help! Did I pick a good one!?

The classic 2000 should offer a slight improvement over your current skimmer... the one posted by tripod is basically the same as what you have.

With a sump why do you want a HOB vs internal?

IMO all the HOB ones are very similar and probably perform about the same.. slight improvements in some over others..
 
I was looking at that one but out of everything I have read most people have said you want 5 to 10 times the GPH of your tank size. The model I have linked does 500 GPH which is over 5 times and since the model you linked looks to be a 1000 vs 2000 I can assume it does 250 GPH. I'm assuming because I didn't see it anywhere.
Thoughts?
 
@mcgyvr my current tank I cannot drill through and when I made my sump out of a 20 gal tank I built it to hold a HOB.
 
What about the RO HOB 100? I put one on a 40 breeder and it was a Beast! My buddy now has the skimmer and has it in the sump he just lengthened the pump line and it works Great! I was skeptical but it works.

Why do you think the current skimmer is not keeping up with the tank?

Curious as well. Assuming you clean the cup and the neck every 48 hours and soak the pump in white vinegar (flush with RO before returning) every 6-8 weeks it should be handling a 75g tank just fine. What signs/symptoms are you displaying that lead you to an inadequate skimmer?
