Why do all your fish look like trout?

So I am upgrading my IM 20 SPS dominant tank to a 93 cube (build thread coming soon). Planning heavy bioload with wrasse and anthias. I built my own stand at 37" tall but am using an Eschopps RS-100 sump where the skimmer compartment is only 9 x 11.75". Here are the three skimmers I am looking at:

Deltec SC 1455
RO Regal 150SSS
Nyos 160

Any thoughts on these or others that would work? Your input is appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I would go with the Nyos or Reef Octopus, I personally like the way the Nyos looks but I think either would be a solid skimmer. The deltec has alot of parts and pieces (more failure points IMO). Both the Nyos and Reef Octupus have some solid reviews on Marine Depot and BRS.
