Picking a skimmer, advice needed!

[Jgro1413]

Hi all, So I have a pretty small space for a skimmer in my sump, its only 11" x 11.5" and my display is 80 gallons. Currently I'm running an old eshopps which I got right when I started the hobby and now I think its time to move onto something better. I've been looking at skimmers and there is a few I've narrowed it down too. So if anyone has any opinions feel free to share them! Thanks! The skimmers I'm looking at are ...

1. Reef Octopus Classic 150SSS 6" Internal Space Saving Protein Skimmer

2. S-200 Space Saving G4 Protein Skimmer - Eshopps

3. SKIMZ SM163 Monzter D-Series - In Sump Protein Skimmer with DC Pump - AquaCave.com (Found someone locally selling this used)

I can only speak to the RO classic. It is a good skimmer that is tried and true. Can't go wrong with it. Another good option for your system is a Bubble Magus Curve 5 Elite. I prefer the Elite model because it comes with a Sicce pump.
