Anyone have any skimmer suggestions for a 60 gallon tank. I don't have a sump but plan to add one in the next couple months. So I guess it'll have to be hob. Do they make a hob big enough for a 60 gallon tank that's multi mount so I can hob now and mount in sump later? Thanks!

Don't bother with HOB just get the sump and add an octopus 110. I kept thinking I could find a good one too attach HOB style, upgrade after upgrade after modification :-\ just wait and get the good stuff in a few months. Also make sure your baffel is below / at the level of the water return and consistent in height at all times. I lifted mine with layers of egg Create.

Get this Deltec and call it a day. It's on sale too :) To get that at $400 I'd order it today (lol)

If you want one a cheaper this is good too. I ran it for 2 years on a 34 gallon. (Read the Reviews)

Same one with a bubble stopper.
