3 skimmers help

[mojo46825]

Ok i just sold my Octo nw 110. I will be moving my 65 gallon into a 120 and am getting a larger skimmer. I am ordering one tomorrow and am stuck on these 3
Euro reef rs
ETSS sump buddy 40
or another octopus either a 150 200 or a recirc skimmer.
What do you all think. I know its not alot of time. But like I said I will be ordering one in the morning and needed a idea. They are all around the $250 range. Thanks in advance.

I just got the Euro Reef RS100 for my 65 gal. Its been 5 days and Im very impressed with it. I didnt have much room in my sump, and the RS100 just fits.
From what Ive read, the Recirculating Octopus may be the best choice if you will have room for it. I didnt have room for a recirc. skimmer in my sump so the RS100 is perfect for me.
For a 120 gal, Id recommend the RS180 if you were going with EuroReef.

i thik i am going to go with a octo recirc. skimmer. I hope I like it. I almost hate to see my octo go now. I will have to use the new skimmer in my 65 until i get the new tank set up. I thnk maybe i will get the octo recirc 150

ok If anyone care to kow I called and calncelled my order. After talking with a few more people today I went with teh ETSS sumpbuddy 40. I talked to the guy at AE tech and asked him about some of hte issues I have heard of with the reef devil. He said that THis was a new design and will work much better. He was a great salesman. I ordered it and the pump. They were really excited about this skimmer. I will keep you all informed on how well this new skimmer works out. It seems like its a cross between a reefdevil, AquaC ev and an urchin. Has a down draft. More of a box like the aquac ev, but hte water exits out theback of the skimmer. Kinda like the urchin does on the side. Well whish me luck. and if anyone care to know $253 shipped with the pump. That includes all the clamps hose ect.

Your choice, but I think The Octopuss would have still be a better skimmer hands down.

I hope I dont regret it. I liked my old octo skimmer. I basically was going to get the same thing only a recirc model. Oh well. This cant be all bad or they wouldnt be in business right? ETSS skimmers are pretty good from what I read right?
