I have the opportunity to get a used 3130, but i was previuosly considering the reefpak 200. It would be used for a sumpless 42 hex tank that's about 24 inches tall. inhabitants would be a small school of chromis, one additional undetermined fish, mostly LPS, zoos and shrooms, and a few monti cap colonies.

I understand the water level and low turbulence is importrant for performance on both skimers. I use 2 aquaclear 50s (270 gph each). Would water evap be an issue?

What do you suggest? Thanks

EDIT - I have an open top canopy, so vertical clearance is not an issue.

and also do the magnet holders work for the older skimmer?
 
The magnet holders would work and if it is a fairly new 3130/2 I would get it instead.
