Question BIG SKIMMER question?

I,m putting together a new system just wondering what you would suggest to use for a skimmer ?? The main display is 650 gallon reef with a 220 fowlr and about 350 gallons worth of sumps all tied together also i will be expanding in the future. So what would you suggest i go with or maybe build one?? thanks in advance

I concur on the Reef Specialty Octo XP-8000 Cone skimmer. I think that this would handle your tanks....it's 38" tall and has crazy air numbers attached to it.

That is a little under rated for that size system.
