Are you looking for an internal skimmer or an external skimmer?

might be premature as not sure if my current needs replacing (sedra 5000 just started rattling) but tagging along for suggestions (145g moderate fish, hoping to get back into SPS, internal)

Get a bigger sump
Getting a larger sump is not really an option for us. (already 65 gallon)

So the skimmer would have to be external definitely.

Lots a rock + my refugium... I guess I could probably create a longer bigger sump by using the glass off my old 150 gallon currently sitting on my front lawn.

The neighbours are starting to look at me funny
