I am in the process of getting 120G 48x24x24 tank made with a 50G sump (tank build thread to come). As usual, I am getting myself all confused by the various choices out there for various products. Most of all with the choice of skimmers. I consider this one of my most important choices so want to do it right.
Based on a bunch of research I have drilled it down to the following four skimmers and wondering if anyone has any views on which one would work best for my build. I know there are a million different opinions on this, but just want to hear some of those.
Here is what I have come up with (in order of what I think is the best choice):
1. CSC-150 Cone Skimmer (

2. Super Reef Octopus 2000 (

3. ATI PowerCone I-Series 200 (

4. Reef Octopus Extreme Diablo XS 200 (

Thoughts and advice?
