That skimmer is rated for an 80 gallon reef tank, by the manufacturer. Those ratings are generally tilted in the manufacturers favor also. I would look to something more potent, if it was my tank.
Very good quality, but you are in the same boat, as that skimmer is rated for an 80 gallon tank also.
What are you looking to spend?
*edit, the cs250 is a good skimmer for your tank, if you have access to one.
They were among the best skimmers out there around 10 years ago. Very well constructed. Now there are many that are as efficient, or even more efficient, for less money.
New? That sounds awful cheap. Octopus skimmers are pretty good, though I would probably spend more than 300 on one for a 110 gallon tank with a sump attached.

I have never tried this two skimmers but have used enough octo skimmers to know they will be efficient.
This website was just for example. I would google the name and find the cheapest website that has them.
The old ASM skimmers are cheaply made and use less efficient pumps than the new models. ASM has stepped into the present with a new line of cone skimmers (and new prices too).
Top Fathom? Who's attic is this coming out of? LOL.
A protein skimmer is a very important component. I wouldn't skimp on it.
I was thinking of a etss evolution 750 protein skimmer but it dosent come with pump so what pump would be a good pump for it? Guys asking 250 is it a good deal? Is it a good skimmer?
Sorry...didn't read through the entire comment before posting. I don't have any experience with a down draft skimmer, but I suppose a Mag7 or quiet one 3000 would be an ideal pump.
