Stuff to start my 180

[fareforce]

Ok guy I finally got the okay from my wife to switch out my 55gal for a 180 gal this summer!! WOOHOO!!!

However, now I am looking at starting to buy some of the equipment for it. I am going to use my 55gal that I have now for a sump, and turn my 31gal sump that I currently have into a fuge. My mantis tank will also be plumbed into the system. My mantis tank is currently 10gal, but I might move him into the 29gal I will have left over.

So now my question.. What is a good skimmer at a decent price for that much water. I want something that is easy to dial in, and once I dial it in I can just leave it be. I figured I can get that now, and run it on my current setup to break it in.

Cheaper the better, but will spend what I need to.. I would like to try to keep it under $300, but who knows.. I also would like the footprint to be under 12"x12".

I know it will probablly be more than $300, but I can wish can't I??
