Re: protein skimmer for a 75 gal

It all depends on how much you want to spend.I like the Coralife SS and Octopus for the best affordable skimmers.

I could go on all day for the best skimmers....Euroreef,ASM,Lifereef,MRC,Aqua C.
How much are you looking to spend?

I would definitely check into the Coralife and Octopus skimmers.The needlewhell version of both will work well.

Octopus Skimmers
