Ok, the dealy is that I have read and read and re-read info on purchasing a skimmer for my 150 gallon and I'm overwhelmed.

I plan on building a 55gallon sump/bench for the skimmer to sit in but in the meantime, I need something because my HOB prism isn't cutting it. I'm running carbon and doing 20% water changes weekly, but am still fighting an uphill algae battle. I am willing to go with a high capacity skimmer that sits outside until I can get the sump plumbed in.

So, pitch me what you got....please. I have no problems paying shipping if you are willing to ship.

I drooled over that but $500 may not fly in my budget. But darn, if that ain't a purty skimmer.

If you go new id Personally I'd go with a vertex omega 150 for around $375 great price for a great skimmer if a higher budget is available go DC;)
