i am looking at 3 skimmers, a kent marine nautilus ex 24" with a mag 12 for $200 shipped, a aqua c ev150 with mag 7 for 165 shipped, and a euroreef cs8-2 with sedra 500 for 370 shipped, wanted to stay around 200-250. can anyone give me a rundown on these 3? obviously the euroreef would be the best choice but if i can i would like to stay within the price range mentioned. thank you in advance.
EDIT: These skimmers are for a 125 RR with a 40 gallon long sump/fuge with 12"x19" of space in skimmer bay
