Which skimmer should i get?

[greg0385]

I have a 150 gallon sps tank with a 75 gallon sump(roughly 200 gallon system). Orginally when i built my setup, the going trend was to put the biggest skimmer that would fit. So i went with a SWC 300 rated for a heavy bioload 300 gallon tank or 600 gallon light bioload tank. I have had this skimmer about a year and a half and it does well but sometimes i feel that a properly rated skimmer would do better than this monster size skimmer.

So i have a buyer for my swc300 and i have found 4 skimmers that are under $300. Which one would you choose or tell me of another skimmer that meets my needs and budget.
1)vertex 180
2) vertex omega 150
3) bubble magnus nac7
4) reef octopus 6" nwb 150


Thanks

I have this skimmer and I am extremely happy with it. Bubble-magus Hero 180 Protein Skimmer Aquarium Skimmers It's only 264.71, it has a double rubber mounted Sicce 1000 pump, it's very quiet and pulls out LOTS of poop.
