Oh my bad, it's in a sump, the total system size is 30 gallons. I really need the cleanest water possible so I'm willing to put out the money for a nice Skimmer but just need direction to which one I should buy.

I personally use a Euroreef 8-2 I got really cheap,.. It's the older model though and I plan to upgrade the pump in it to something that will work a little better.

For that system, I think you would be fine with any of those. They are all good skimmers. But if I had to rank them...maybe ER, ASM, Octopus, CPR??
I am thinking of trying the Octopus myself (but for a larger tank).

I think I'm starting to lean towards the NW-150. It's not as expensive as the ASM.

The octopus is the best bang for the buck out of the skimmers you listed... You will not be disappointed with the NW150!

I think I'm going with the Octopus, the Euroreef is a little too much $.

Octopus is coming out with an ATI clone with the same pumps as the ATI for a better price. I've just now started looking at them, but the info is limited right now.

I agree, I just picked up a octo nw-200 for my current build. Have not fired it up as of yet but from all the positive things that everyone says about them, it seems it was a good choice.
