Need help finding a Protein Skimmer

[Bryan47]

I need an appropriate sized skimmer for my new system
I setup. It's a 72 bow front with 29 gallon sump. I'm on a budget.

I currently have an instant ocean seaclone 100 skimmer
And a remora HOB skimmer. Are these combined enough? Or it time to just upgrade to a big boy skimmer? I've been looking at some used but I have no idea how to tell what's good and what's big enough or way too big. It's one area I don't know much about.

Any suggestions would be great. Also what pump to
Go with it. Thanks!

Sorry to be honest but those skimmers are junk imo. If your on a budget I'd go with a bubble magus curve 7 or skimz 143. Both will work well on a 72g and are budget friendly.

I have a remora unit on a 47 gal system and I have to supplement with extra filtration. My nutrients still run quite high.

I am happy with my Skimz SM-163. I use it on my 65g.

Would advise upgrading to a reef Octopus, bubble Magus, Skimz... Skimmers.

I just purchase a Bubble Magus Curve 7 for my 125G that I am in the process of setting up. It only cost me $290 and had free shipping.

I highly recommend a reef octopus, also have an eshopps, both work well for my systems.
