Skimmer Question

I'm planning on upgrading my skimmer for my 65 gallon reef that is mostly sps with a fairly heavy bioload. I've been looking at the Octopus skimmers based on price and quality. Which size would be recommended? The NW110 or NW150? The only worry i have with the 150 is that it might not fit in my sump, but if i need one that powerful, i'll figure it out. Are there any other skimmer brands recommended in the lower price range?

There are other plenty of good skimmers. I have used both MRC & Aqua C with good succsess.

If your on a budget the octo 150 is a great skimmer and you can mod it to make it a very nice skimmer. www.marinesolutionsinc.com sell it for around 150....can't beat the price
