I just upgraded from a Reef Octopus to a Vertex Omega 150 for my 60 gallon. Its rated up to 150G heavy bioload and is really skimming well in my SPS tank (nice dark nog). Love the skimmer and couldn't be happier.

yes the omega 150 is a good little skimmer
the alpha 170 is another skimmer
the SWC 160 was another good skimmer

Well I don't know if I am in any position to give advice as I am brand new, but when we were in Edmonton we went by big Al's to check out the skimmers, with all the ones they had there that we could check out watch in action, listen to, see how they were adjusted, etc we decided to go with the JNS U2 skimmer, we are hooking ours up to a 120gal w/external sump. Foot print is pretty small as well because the pump is under/in the housing.

Good luck on your decision
Randy
