Skimmer upgrade for my 180 cube, need everyone's opinions

[MikeyA]

Hello everyone, so I'm in need of an updated for my 180 cube, mixed reef, with medium- slightly heavy bioload. I'm currently running a skimz sv203, which has severed me well over the years but I cracked the base and volute. The 3 skimmers I'm debating are the reef octopus regal 200sss, the aquamaxx dcq3 (with the new dc pump), and skimz 201. My worry with the last 2 is the aquamaxx dcq is brand new and not many reviews. And skimz is barely supported anymore in the states (BRS is getting out of the skimz business). So i wanted to hear opinions and see if anyone has any info on the new aquamaxx?

Out of what you have listed, I would probably go with the Reef Octopus. But personally if I were going to spend $600-$700 on a skimmer, I'd get the Maxspect Aeraqua Duo 600.

Hmm, I never considered the duo skimmer. Thank you for your reply. I'm going to check this skimmer out.
