what to go with??

Hey guys,

I am starting a 120 gal reef tank 6 days ago. I keep 33% of the old water and keep running the canister ( i will sell him) so my water is top shape, i made all the water test and its perfect. 2 days ago, i buy some hermitts and snails to start putting live stock and it still running good.

Now i'm at the point that i have to choose a skimmer. I am little bit limited because i run the tank without a sump. The 2 options that i have are this:

1- brand new octopus at 225$
2- 1year old coralife venturi super skimmer for 150$

I would like to have your opinion please, it would be realy appreciate!

thanks again and if you have something to say just GO!!!
I want to learn !

The Octopus because it is like 100x better than the coralife super skimmer (even though it is expensive it is worth it trust me).

Octopus. Are you looking at the NW200? Have you seen the new "Extreme"?
