AquaC Urchin or Reef Octopus Needle

Which of these skimmers is better?
I plan on building a sump in the next few weeks, and will have room in my sump for either.
I have a 55g tank, don't plan on corals, but want lighting to be the only factor in the way of corals equipment wise.
The prices are within $10, so that is not an deciding factor.
Thank you in advance!

Octopus and not even a close comparison between the 2 skimmers.

Okay. That's what I thought, just double checking.
Are all octopus skimmers that good?

I haven't played with their HOB, but yes their line of skimmers from standard to the extremes and vines very good for the money.

I'd be going with the in sump pinwheel model.
It has excellant ratings.

Good deal.
