I have a 125 mix reef I am thing of a new skimmer I have 2 in mined . A aquamaxx em 200 or a reef octopus classic 160 int . The em 200 good for 240 gal. little bit biger foot print good rev. the 160 int I think they just put a different pump on the older 160 do you think I will get a lot of micro bubbles out of the return if I make it longer?? and I want it to be quiet . I do not no who has the better pump . Need help to make up my mined
 
They both have the same L/H air intake, thats not an issue. BRS rates the Octopus at only 110g tank, therefore I'd go with the Aquamaxx EM200. Other than that fact, they are darn near the same skimmer.
 
I was leaning more to the em200 they say it is quiet. Reef octopus makes so many the one you get could be obsolete in a month or 2
