36 MRC Reef Sump Skimmer suggestions

[chemically_balanced]

Anyone got a good suggestion on a skimmer for this sump? Of course I would like to get the biggest skimmer possible and keep it under $500.00. This also needs to be an in sump skimmer and it's connected to a 60 cube that is SPS packed. I've been having an issue getting my PH to 8.3 because the Bubble Magus NAC6 Cone skimmer is just not able to supple enough O2 exchange.

My stb skimmer is rated for 250g.

Ran on a 120 with heavy mixed reef and about 30 fish with 50 gallon sump. It sucked the poo like a beast. Water was always clear and it's very easy to adjust. I think it's a 8" base. Cone shape

My MRC2-R fits into my 36" MRC sump... but it is a tight fit. Might suggest the MRC2 (non-recirculating) skimmer.

I have that sump with a SRO5000SSS it is tight but fits.

I really don't want an injection skimmer. So much to deal with.

How tall is it. I can go 24" tall or just over to remove the cul I can always pu the drawer out.

I think for a 60 cube it would be overkill. A SRO3000sss would work very well.

I got a SWC 160 and it is awesome and really quiet!!

Does any LFS carry the SRO3000sss?

I think Rit does.

Just ordered the SRO3000SSS so hopefully I'll have a new toy next week.
