I can't recall seeing or reading much on the SAF 8. The Poisedon "I believe" is a mazzei injector style skimmer. Its sort of a newer technique of protein skimming, still being debated. Supposedly more efficient than aspirating venturi's and comparable to the Beckett style skimmers that most people currently swear by.
You won't be disappointed with picking up a Euro-reef. AquaC/Remora, Lifereef, Del tec, PM (Precision Marine), MRC (MyReefCreations), Aerofoamers, etc. all make excellent skimmers. While I'll be in the minority, I won't say that Euroreefs are the most powerful skimmers around. Great skimmers and user friendly, most deffinately though. HTH's

While they are good. They are not nearly as effective as many of the other models on the market.

I have no experience with the EV line up which are a completely different "type" of skimmer than the Remora's. Kip's mentioned above his experience with that line up though.
