What Skimmer to purchase

[ccfl]

I have been looking to purchase a good skimmer for my new 125 FOWLR. I have a limited cabinet space and sump space of 14" x 12" and cabinet height of no more than 25" (I could make a cut in floor of cabinet and it would add another 4"s in the height if needed). I have looked at so many I don't know which to go with. So any recommendations would be a big help.

coralife makes a good skimmer. but Id get the skimmer rated for 225 gal.

Tunze has a great skimmer that wont take up a lot of room

I like Aqua-C products; but there are many really good in-sump skimmers on the market; I don't know how this hobby supports such a massive outpouring of acrylic, I guess its the price. There are lots of good ways to save $ in this hobby; but, IMO, not buying the best skimmer you can is not one of them. Good tech support on stuff like skimmers is a must for the mechanically challenged, like me, and I think Aqua-C is great in this area.

octopus NW 200....for under $200 this skimmer is the best available. Better construction than skimmers costing way more and works awesome right of the box. Bets bang for the buck going...
