What would be the best bet on a skimmer? Im setting up a 60 gallon display and a 30 gallon sump and striving for a mixed reef. My price range is about $300.

Hey stranger its been awhile! I would go with the SWC Cone skimmer for that budget but don't know what are your requirements. I used this skimmer when my Bubble King pump died, I chose thee SWC as a backup because of the small footprint but I went back to the BK when the pump was replaced.

You can find a used ASM G3 for $150.. that will leave you extra room to add on another 150 gallons if you choose to add a frag tank, or run a super heavy bioload

You could look into the diy avast cone skimmer. I heara lot of good things about those. Or a super reef octopus. Those are pretty nice too.

Or you can just take the ASM g3 I have sitting out in my shed and get it out of my way. Then all you need to buy is a pump. 
If your going to be at the next club meeting, I can bring it with me.

Well when he comes home, it will probably still be sitting in my shed.

He's home now. He got out and moved to the east coast.

OK, you can pick it up when you stop by to see the tank.
