Helloo I need a protein skimmer for my 55 gallon tank. The tank will have fish inverts and corals. It probably will be a heavy bioload. Preferably an HOB skimmer. Any ideas?

I have had good luck with my Eshopps. Have heard Octo makes a good one I would not doubt that for a moment. My in sump is excellent

IMO...The EShopps PSK75H skimmers are the best. I have 2 sitting in my shed as back-ups for my Icekap K3.....
Also spare parts readily available until they change the design which forced me to get inventive to get the new motor to work with one of my old ones so a lot to be said for backups yup. Now I do with heaters, power heads even lights
