Anyone have a good recommendation for a external recirculating skimmer for a 90 gallon SPS-dominant tank? I'm running about 110 gallons total water volume and it's been supported by a DAS EX-1 for about 20 months. The DAS has been doing the job but last night I found a small drip coming from the bottom of the pump, so thought I'd take the opportunity to look into upgrading skimmers while I try to fix the DAS. The DAS is the only skimmer I've ever used and I know there are a lot more "sexier" skimmers out there nowadays... Thanks for any suggestions.

we are starting a group buy if you are interested post in the gb thread and i can see if we can get you a price.

I have an ex1 skimmer if you need to borrow the pump i am not using till you decide which way you want to go on a skimmer
 
ooooo, that looks super nice! yeah, let me know what a gb price would be on the external model. i hope it will come out soon, don't know how much longer i can wait.

thanks so much for the offer on the pump, i may take you up on it if i can't fix it this weekend.
