Best in-sump protein skimmer for up to 125-150?

#1
Hey everyone! Well it's about time I add a protein skimmer to the mix, looking for the best all around in-sump that can handle 125-150 gallons and that's not too pricey, let's say $250 tops...? Just looking for your opinions. So far from what I've read, Octopus 110 or 150 is pretty good. What about Aqua C Urchin Pro? Anyone have any experience with those? They are supposedly the smallest fingerprint. I've got limited space in my sump/fuge.

Thanks everyone!

I would also recomend Elite reef and the SWC, that is what I run and love it.

I highly recommend the SWC one from ELite. Talk to CJ. He'll take good care of you.

Here you go. Won't get any better than this for the price. I have one on my 120 and it is more than enough.

I have one of those as well, I need more fish to keep up the bubbles though. Where do I get the 1" injector?

I was wanting to try the swc, want to help fund my swc purchase? I have an AquaC EV 180 I could sell, hehe

If you are going with the SWC, I think you would be looking at the 180 for your aquarium size. I have been happy with my Octopus 110 and my ASM G2, but they are both over sized for the applications. I still haven't tested my Avast DIY Cone. Make sure you are checking gallon rating, operating depth and dimensions to make sure whatever you get meets your needs and will fit. I would also check thescmas.com and see if anyone has anything there.
