Going to be setting up my new 60 g cube soon. Have everything except the skimmer. Looking for suggestions on skimmers. Looking for middle of the road skimmers.....not a piece of garbage but also not overly expensive
 
Haha! I was in the process of getting the link when you were posting. I have the 303 on my fo tank, and couldnt be happier with it. I'm guessing they are all quality skimmers. The price on any of these cant be beat.
 
not to thread jack, I am looking into skimmers myself right now. But is there a reason you are recommending skimmers capable of 2.5-3x's the water capacity of the setup?
 
It's always better to go bigger for many reasons. If you decide to upgrade down the road, you wont need to upgrade the skimmer. Also, just cause a skimmer is rated at 150g, doesnt necessarily mean it is. Manufacturers seem to exaggerate on this imo. I would rather overskim, than under skim. I have always been told it's best to go double if possible.
 
Thanks for the info! I was looking for a skimmer for a 110-125 gallon and was looking at the ones you two suggested. I would probably need bigger then.
