I have the Bubble Magus Curve 7 on my 125g tank (150g total volume.)

Not Eshopps. Very loud.

JNS skimmers are pretty impressive. Bubble Magus makes decent skimmers, as does reef octopus.

Mr. X seems to know what hes talking about on the skimmers. Ill probably switch to one of those JNS's from my aquac remora when i can save up the money.

I've been told to go with the Reef Octopus 100 for my 55 gallon tank/20 galllon sump. I haven't had a chance to really own one, but reviews say they're good.

I have a reef octopus. Next skimmer I will try seaside aquatics

Seaside uses ATB bodies and sicce pumps for the most part. They are also good. I recently put an ES2 cone on a tank I look after. It's an awesome skimmer.

That sounds underpowered. Which one is the 100? Is this an HOB model?

I agree. It's an HOB model I run on my 40 breeder and it's probably the largest tank size it should be used on.

Coral Vue Technology AC20284 Octopus Needle Wheel Skimmer for Aquarium Filter, 4-Inch, 100-Gallon

It's an in-sump skimmer, but I'm going with this one because I have a 20 gallon sump and I'm using the middle section for a refugium and it's the only one that will fit, or else I would have gone with the 150 model
