Default skimmer question

What would be a good skimmer to put on a 33g reef tank? Where can I buy one?

Do you have a sump or do you need one that hangs on the back of the tank?

I used to have a Coralife super skimmer 125 that worked well. They retailed for around 180 busk. You can get a Coralife SS 65 I think but I'm not sure how much they are.

I have a Coralife 65 and it isn't worth it. I know the 125 is far better then the 65. The 65 needs to be CONSTANTLY re-dialed in. Its a PITA!

I would suggest the Aqua C remora. I used it on my 33 reef, not much space used, fairly plug and play and moderatly quiet. I also used it on my 75g reef before I upgraded skimmers - it handeled the larger tank fairly well. And it costs a little bit less then the others suggested.

I like my coralife 65 , It pulls out a ton of more gunk than my remora did and doesnt require me to constantly redial it. I just clean the cup every week and pour out some nasty skimmate.
