Choices for skimmers narrowed down, with tank pics. Help decide which to get.
Ok ive narrowed it down to these HOB skimmers, if you know of anything better, please mention it, i want to know which one of these you think is best or recommend something you like better, remember i can only use an HOB and my tank is 75 gals. I think one or two of those are internal.
Aqua-C Remora and Remora Pro
Deltec MCE600 HOB Skimmer
Red Sea Berlin Classic Line
Octopus dual HOB
Here are pics of the room i have, the new skimmer will replace the seaclones spot.

I have had a remora and was not real imressed with it. I currently have coralife super skimmers ( one 65 adn one 125) I like both of them WAY better than the remora. I hear that the Octopus is a wonderful skimmer and folks are very happy with it esp in it's cost range.
