Default protien skimmers

i love this site! you guys and gals are great out there for all the info i get!
One more to ask all of you is which type of protein skimmer would most of you recommend? Cost efficient also. I have a 62 gal tank with a 20 gal sump.
I bought a prizm online and heard they were garbage???

ASM has a nice skimmer that works very well and is cost efficient

What type of corals are you keeping? YES! the prism is garbage! ave your bucks and get this Xtreme 120 Cone Protein Skimmer You'll never need another skimmer! If you move up in tank size you won't have to buy another one either. These skimmers are the way! I splurged and bought one 2 years ago and it flat out ROCKS!
