POLL: swc extreme 250, octopus extreme 300, or octopus extreme cone


i have a 90g i will be upgrading eventually(to a 180), but would like to go ahead and get a great skimmer that i can use and not have to upgrade it in 6-12 months. I keep almost only sps(couple zoas and an lps or 2) and i do like fish. i have 7-8 now(mostly small) but ive always liked seeing a reef tank that actually had fish in it.

so, the skimmer i will need will have to:
be overrated(bigger is better) for my future tank of 180g
be able to fit in a 50g tank used as a sump
be able to handle a heavy bio load and still keep the water quality good enough for sps

which one would you choose?

Go for the MSX... Its a tad cheaper, just get one with an askoll pump. Either the new 300 or the cone. Rumor is the cone is a better performer.
