I have a 100 gallon that I'm gonna convert to saltwater.. FISH only.. But I don't like getting a filter, skimmer or anything else for that matter that I am already maxed out on size wise on the 100 Gal. Cause I may want to upgrade and get a 240, etc later. So that being said which skimmer should I get?

Requirments: should be able to be a HOB, and come with a power head, since it's going on a glass tank that has not been drilled.

thoughts?
 
I had a coralife one first and I didn't like it in my 20gal b/c of the size of the pump & return box. In a bigger tank like you have, I don't think it would take up as much space.

(I still have it for sale if you want it) BTW...

After the Coralife, I switched to a Tunze one as it sat in the tank and was much smaller.
 
ASM's are great. Deltecs, euro-reef, octopus, are all great skimmers. Most of these are insump design so have a sump for them
