Skimmer for 75g FOWLR

[Tobman]

I am considering a 75 gallon tank set up for fish-only with live rock, but with an overflow and under-tank sump. The sump will be in the basement, so no restriction on size.

I am wondering what size and type of skimmer you all recommend I get?

CSS220 would be a decent cheap option, although you could spend much more than that on something like a ASMG3 or even a 4x and beyond. All depends on how much $$ you want to spend.

as big of a skimmer as you can get.

I plan on using a Coralife SS Venturi Wheel 220 on my 75 gallon FOWLR setup (whenever I get around to buying the stand, I have been putting that part of the project off for a long time ) I have heard nothing but good things about Coralife skimmers, and for $114 bucks you can't go wrong with the price.

It's hard to tell from the MarineDepot page, but the Coralife skimmer does not appear to come with a pump, so in addition to the $115, one would need to also by a pump to drive the skimmer, yes?

This comes with a pump and is $85. Any experience with the Seaclone - any good?

Just in case you decide to go reef later (more or less inevitable), you should consider an Euroreef or Deltec product...
