My recommendations use the largest skimmer that you can afford at this time, and that space allows. You can never technically over filter your aquarium water ever, in any aspect...even skimming.

If you ever have an aquarium with delicate corals, you will have to keep an eye on crashing or strong water currents, being too strong for them at times.

However for FOWLR tanks, strong currents are good and welcome for most fish, it allows them to gain that much needed cardivascular exercise that they usually don't get while kept in captivity.

One of the better protein skimmers on the market today, along with a few others, is the Precision Marine; this one can be run externally without a sump.
Some would say, a little pricey, but you can pick up a factory second from them directly at this web address http://precisionmarine.com/ ...from here just click on factory seconds. They are good friends of OCReef, mention that I recommended you... if you do in fact wish to go with them.

As far as most of the other Protein Skimmers, like the Prizm or the Sea Clone, don't bother wasting your money on them. A Good rule of thumb, if Petsmart or Petco sells it, usually you shouldn't but it.

damn those things are bigger than my tank... i mind as well put the fish in the skimmer haha i didnt even look at the prices of those things, i was hoping not to spend more than 200 on the skimmer though, do i really need that kind of a monster on a FOWLR 70 gal?

or check out the classifieds at www.reefcentral.com they sell dry goods used and new... they always have great deals on skimmers...

You can always go with AquaC Skimmers.. those too are a fine line of skimmers. If you would to stay away from having to plumb fit the skimmer in, then the Remora is a great option. I can get you a brand new unit a Remora w/Rio 800 for $131.20.
