Please help me in finding a new in sump protein skimmer

[swissfish]

I just upgraded from my 27G to a 80G reef tank and my 27G is now working as a sump. I still use my seaclone skimmer but i want to upgrade due to constant need of adjustment and bubbles in my tank. Do you guys recommend a in sump skimmer?

AquaC Urchin Pro. Same thing as the Remora Pro, with the outlet on the side as opposed to the top (and no lip for hanging)

I have another question:

How much light should i have? I want to add some corals.

 

[captivereefs]

What kind of corals? SPS softies or LPS. That will make a difference in the light you get.

One more question what are the dimensions of the 80?

i want to have the option to have SPS or LPS if posible

 

[captivereefs]

If you want SPS than Metal Halide is the only way to go to do it right. I would do 2 250 watt MH supplemented with actinics either PC or VHO. You could also do a retro kit if you had a hood or canopy to bolt them into. Take alook at the Hamilton hoods on my site and that will give you a good i dea of whats availible and if it is within your budget.
