Hi I'm looking for a suggestion for a new skimmer. I'm about to set up a 65 reef and have a skimmer but I believe its too large (if thats possible) for the system. Any suggestions? Also I've been out of reefing for a while and see a bunch of DC pump skimmers, are these reliable and what are the advantages. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
 
The Orphek helix 5000 is what I use for my 80g of volume.

Wow I would say that's a bit overkill but its a great looking skimmer. unfortunately my sumps skimmer chamber is only 12x13.
I've been looking at the Octo prime or elite 150 or maybe a vertex 130.. any thoughts on those?
 
Who makes the wsc skimmer I googled it but came up empty?
