I am looking at getting the aquac urchin pro or the reef octopus classic space saver from
Marine depot. I have a 72 gallon tank with 20 gallon sump. So not a heck of a lot of room and I want to get in sump. Any suggestions between these two?
 
I have had great luck with the Aqua Remora skimmers.
 
I have about the same water volume and same sized sump. I'm running a reef octopus pov dc1 and so far I'm very happy with it, pulling out a ton of dark nasty smelling skimate. I did have a vertex omega 130 but I made my skimmer compartment a bit too small so it wouldn't fit but the build quality in it was second to none, I was really very impressed with it and very disappointed that I couldn't use it. I got a great deal on it otherwise I would have gone with the 150 instead of the 130 though. You may also want to look at the aquamaxx skimmers. The co-1 should handle your tank just fine but the co-2 may give you some room to grow.
