What skimmer to choose

Reef Octopus Classic 150SSS 6" VS AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 In-Sump Protein Skimmer

My Display tank is 40 gallons and I'm setting up a 40 breeder sump. which one of these skimmer would best do the job.

150SSS is too big IMO so I would go with the Aquamaxx. When a I spoke to RO recently they said they don't recommend a 6" body skimmer on anything less than 120g water volume.

I use a co-1 in my 70 worked like champ.

Hi im new to this forum, just wondering if anyone could tell me what the plus and minus does on the skimmer the twist valve?

^^^Are you asking about the tube you twist to move the water up and down in the skimmer? If you looked inside it would look like the moon full moon fully open quarter moon mostly close

Or are you asking about the ones that have knobs so the water goes up or down in the skimmer chamber?
