Skimmer recommendation.

Crooked Reef

Looking for a skimmer recommendation, in sump, for a 90 gallon reef. I was looking towards the reef octopus 150 but wanted to know if there were any other good ones around that price point. Thanks.
 
I am using Octo 2K Classic Protein Skimmer from BRS. It's doing the job for sure, but lots of bubbles (but I heard these will mostly go away over time).
 
Been using a RO Prime 150 INT on my 80 gal DT with a 40 gal sump for 7 months now. So far very pleased, it's quiet, consistent, and reliable, almost set and forget if you will. I run it in shallower water than recommended but so far it has been rock solid with not so much as a hiccup.

I have the EXACT same size setup as you.
You're NOT going to beat Reef Octopus. PERIOD.
I've got the 150INT. Works fabulously.
Get it. Just.get.it.
 
RO 150
Vertex 150
IceCap 160
Eshopps 160

I'd choose from those personally. If money isn't a major factor I'd probably go for the Vertex or RO Regal 150SSS. The other two are also very good but a little cheaper.
