Skimmer... Bubble Magus or Octopus or?

[mfdrookie516]

Trying to figure out which skimmer to order. I'm
comparing these two-

Bubble Magus BM-NAC3+
Bubble Magus BM-NAC3+ Protein
Skimmer - English

VS

Reef Octopus 4" Pinwheel In Sump Skimmer
OCT NWB110
Reef Octopus 4

Any
pro's/con's on these two? Anything better in this price range? This is for a 40
breeder.

I have the NAC6 and like it. Had to replace the impeller but other then that its a scum sucking son of a gun. Ebay for $150. Had it for about a year.

40breeder, I would look at the sro 1000 int. THe nac 3.5 would not be bad either THe octo 4 would cycle more water. So with that said they would all work fine. I would put them in the order of SRO 1000, octo 4 and nac 3.5. in that order

Thanks for the input mojo. Would the cone be a worth-while investment? As in, would it be cost effective to spend another $30 on this one over the non-cone design? Bubble Magus BM-NAC3.5 Protein Skimmer - English
