Any thoughts on a Skimmer. I think I'm leaning for a External either a Deltec.
A insump will be a Vertex 250 or a BK

what are your thoughts

Perhaps a good time to gain some experience with a DC version. BKs have them now or if you can find one a RLSS.

I would recommend asking our resident skimmer expert, The Skimmer King. He'll provide you with all the skimmer information you'll need!

Oh and also..
