New Skimmer Time!

[Jackalope]

OK... i have 250-ish gallons of total water volume. I'm looking into getting a new skimmer soon and only want an octo., BUT there's about 3 dif. types and dont know what outperforms what. it must be an in-sump. not inline.

What's ya'lls ideas? only sps i have are 2- monti caps. rest are lps with acans, and i feed 1-2 times per 24 hours. bio-load is somewhat high.

Thanks in Advance!

Jackalope, I would go with the Super Reef Octopus XP-3000 Internal, that thing can really pull poop out of the water

Rated at 250 gallon heavy stocked.

I got the 5,000 external and I can't be more happy with my choice, also, price ain't as high as a Deltec for example.
