Is this an in-sump or HOB model? (pardon my ignorance)

Hey Keri, how big is your tank? I have the Deltec MCE600 and it's amazing! Depending on the size of your tank, you could try the MCE300 (I believe I saw one for sale on here a few days ago).

65g reef. I have a coralife 65 but it's finicky and just barely rated for that size of tank. (pulls a lot out tho but it's overfilled at random times on me before)
Where did you get your deltec from?
edit: ever used an aquac remora pro?

Thanks!! I think they are sold out of the smaller size, I'm not sure what size I would need for the 65. I don't want to underskim but I've heard way Overskimming can be bad too?

It is going to be difficult to find a decent HOB skimmer for under 350 unless you find a used one. Good Luck there your on the right place to find one. Just a quick question on "but I've heard way Overskimming can be bad too" could you elaborate on this if you have time.
Thanks
