9010 vs 9015

[yeldarbj]

I'm thinking about getting a used 9010 or 9015. Is the only difference between the two, the size of the collection cup? I've got a 100g sps tank, fully stocked. Do you think I'd be better off with the the larger collection cup of the 9015 or try a foam extractor on a 9010?

I've had great success with a 9010 in the past on a 65g. I've since upgraded tanks and changed skimmers to an I-Tech 200 with the Tunze hydrofoamer. I think it's oversized which is making me think about going back to what worked so well before. Any other input?

Thanks.

Stick with the 9010, the 9015 is a 9010 with a bigger cup, it skims very dry, I personally don't like that, the dry skimmate cakes up the riser tube and unless you clean the cup daily the results can be disappointing.
