The Vertex Omega skimmer is one of the nicest skimmers you can find in or out of its price range for tanks up to 180 gallons. We use the Omega line of skimmers on a few different tanks around BRS and find them to work really well, and at the same time looking nicer than almost all others on the market.
BRS Recommended Tank Size:
Lightly Stocked - 180 Gallons
Medium Stocked - 145 Gallons
Heavily Stocked - 100 Gallons
