Yet another Skimmer choosing thread

[penguinsix]

I am trying to decide between an Octopus 150 or a EuroReef RS80 promo or a used EuroReef rs5-2. The Octo has a diameter of 6" while both the euro reefs have 5". The euroreef's have customer support that the octo doesn't. But then the rs5-2 is 2" shorter than the rs80. I can do the mesh mod to all three if necessary, but don't want to if I don't need too. This is for a 10g for now but will be on a 20g with a 10 or 15g sump.

bump. The octo 110 is now a viable orion as well, actually it is the only one that would fit my current setup.

I was going to say that the 150 was way too much skimmer for a 10 or 20g tank. Mesh-mod whichever one you buy...it's cheap and worth the bubble difference.

I am probably going to go with the 110, anyone else have anything to say?
