Best skimmer for a 120?

[steve614]

I am setting up a new 120 gallon tank and I was hoping to get a few opinions on in sump skimmers for it for $300-400.Footprint is not an issue, I will make the sump or have it made to fit the skimmer.Thanks.

I would look into the Vertex IN-180, they look like solid skimmers and Rick (our skimmer expert) says they're pretty good skimmers from his experience. They're also well priced

Also looking into the reef octopus xp1000sss it got a small footprint & its a beast check salwar critters

the octopus skimmer is only rated at 125 gallons.don't they overrate the size?
