Pick a new skimmer for my tank <$200
I am trying to decide which skimmer to get for my 28g bow. I want to be able to use this skimmer when I upgrade my tank to around a 75g.
My current choices are a Euro-Reef RS80, Octopus NW-200 or an ASM G-1X. The octopus is rated for up to a 250g, which is the highest rating.

The Octopus is a no brainer, the other ones aren't even close to the size of the NW-200.

Spend an extra bill, get the Tunze DOC Protein Skimmer 9010, it'll work great on a 75.

Gotta agree. It's a very good skimmer with a great price.

Octopus or tunze 9010, either would be great.
