Need a Really Good Skimmer for 125 Reef

Hi, I am upgrading my 90 reef to a 125 (6 feet long). I want an in sump skimmer that would really work well. I am looking for some overkill here as I feel my tanks have always been "under skimmed". My 90 has a Euroreef RC80. This skimmer works ok but I find the output varies to much with my sump water level. (I know auto top off) Plus, it is not really rated for a 125 gallon reef with a moderate load.

I was thinking about the AquaC EV-Series Protein Skimmer rated for 80-350 gallons. It runs off a Mag 12 pump which I already have. It also claims to be built well and operates the same at any sump level.

I want plug and play- I do not want something that needs a lot of tinkering. Just clean the cup every few days and an occasional total cleaning.

The skimmer needs to fit in a 10" by 10" sump area.

Anyone have any other ideas/experience? I have a budget of no more than say $400.

Thanks

Andrew
