I've been looking around trying to figure out what skimmer I want to put on my new 210 gallon tank. I'm pretty set on a Reef Octopus because I have one on my 55 right now and it does a great job. I'm currently looking at either the Diablo XS 250 which is rated at 250g (not much leeway here) or the Diablo DCS 250 rated at 500g. Does anyone have any experience with either one of these skimmers? I'm also open to any suggestions if someone thinks there is a better option out there. The price is pretty much the same on both of these which is why I don't understand why the DCS is rated so much higher than the XS. I also want to note that space is not an issue since I will be building my own sump/stand.
 
The dc 250 are nice I love mine never had a issue with it yet . But I also really like my bubble magus curve 9 awesome skimmers for the price
 
Wow thats crazy how to BM is almost 200 bucks cheaper. I'm definitely going to take that one into consideration. Do you like it better than your Octopus?
