killing time at jury duty protein skimmer quesiton

[doma25]

So i just did a tank switch from my 90 to the 120 and it looks great! I added an mp40 3 aqua illumination sol blues and the rock work came out great.. i will post pics later..

but i think its time to pick a better protein skimmer.. i currently have the coralife125 however i don't know what to get i wanted a skimmer between the price range of 250 - 400 dollars and with a relatively small foot print.

this skimmer intrigued me... any feedback or advice would be appreciated!

Reef Octopus Extreme 6 Inch XS160

how would this compare to the precision marine bullet 1 and aqua c 180
is that a good skimmer!

personally i am not much for downdraft style skimmers, they are energy hogs and unless you have a big system imo they arent worth it, plus there is other skimmers in the price range that will way outperform the xs 160. if interested shoot me a pm with height available under your stand, and foot print in sump and height of water where the skimmer will sit

Marine Tec HSA-250 works great for me
