Recommendation for Sump and Skimmer

[orteh22]

Hi Reef Central

I have a 135g tank, would my 30g sump be adequate for this tank?

Also, any recommendation on a decent skimmer thats under $200? lower price is ofcourse better.

A 30 gallon sump is fine. Just try to have a sump running volume of at least 12-15 gallons. 200$ is a tight budget for a good skimmer. Too bad you don't have 3 mos and 50 post on reef central because you could get a great used skimmer for around 220$ right now. If you can manage a few more $ look at sea side aquatics or bubble magus.
