Default Protein Skimmer for 50 Gallon Tank (plus sump)

i thought i would post up a couple of the new skimmers i am looking at and see ppl's opinions on them. i dont have the tank yet, but being slightly nuts im already tracking down exactly what i want for it. it will (hopefully) be a 50 gallon breeder.

im thinking i am going to have a sump running below the tank, maybe 15-20 gallons, and put the skimmer in there. i want a good skimmer, but not one that is freakin loud.

ASM G-1 Protein Skimmer w/ Sedra 2500 Pump

Tunze DOC Protein Skimmer - 9005

Tunze DOC Protein Skimmer - 9205

Euro-Reef RS80 In-Sump Protein Skimmer (very similar to ASM)

similar skimmer, bigger size. Euro-Reef RS100 In-Sump Protein Skimmer


right now im leaning more towards the tunzes. i have the 9002 for my 24 gallon, and although i havent used it much yet, i LOVE the design and the fact that is easily adjusted and SUPER quiet.

that said, ive never used an in sump skimmer, so maybe the ASM or Euroreef would be better.

any input is greatly appreciated
