Hey y'all,

I bought a new sump and installed it. It is the Trigger system Sapphire series 34. The skimmer section is 14x10. The skimmer I have now is a Bubble Magus NAC 5.5, it works well, but I am looking at getting a bigger skimmer to keep up with my tank and the bioload. I want to spend no more than $400, I was looking at the Bubble Magus Curve 7, just bc I have had such good luck with that brand. Does anyone else have any other opinions or experience with other protein skimmers.
I have a 75g display with about 25g sump
6 Fish and it is a SPS dominated tank.
Skimmer compartment dimensions is 14"x10"

Thank you for the help!

I don't think I'd go any larger than the BM Curve 5, or my personal choice, a Sea Side Aquatics ES 5, the same skimmer but built with a better Sicce pump.
