I need a skimmer for a 29 gallon with a 10 gallon sump

Like title says I am looking for a skimmer for my 29 gallon tank and a 10 gallon sump. I won't be doing this for a couple more months but I would like to start researching. I do not want to spend more than $200. I have a moderately stocked mixed reef tank with:
2 small gold nugget maroons
1 pajama cardinal
1 tailspot blenny
1 small rose BTA

i am currrntly dosing vinager to keep my nitrates and phosphates down.

Skimmers i I am interested in:
-Icecap K2-50
-Bubble magnus Curve 5
-Bubble magnus NAC 3.5 (same pump as the curve 5)
-Skimz Mini 123 (DC pump)
-Coral box D300 (worried this is too much skimmer)
-Your Choice Aquactics DC10
-Simplicity DC120

Please help me out
 
The Aquamaxx WS-1 has been a good performer on my 28g system. Small footprint, quiet, easy to take apart and clean, and produces copious amounts of stinky effluent. My wife requires me to turn on the hood during cleaning of the cup to ventilate the stank.

It is a great little skimmer. I have had one and am debating on that one as well. I am not crazy about the rubberband holding the collection cup

Agreed on the rubber O ring on the cup. The first one I had when the cup was full it would slide down and then overflow. I called Aquamaxx (Marine Depot) and they sent me two new ones and told me to double them up. No problems since.

Good to know.
Great customer service. If I do decide to go with a 5 gallon sump to allow more room in my sump I will probably go this route
