Which DOC Skimmer

[tmcchicago]

I have a 120 that is heavily stocked with fish, LPS and SPS. My current ASM G1X is not cutting it and I am looking to upgrade. Based on size and power consumption, I have decided to buy a Tunze DOC. Based on the published rating (including the deduction for SPS/heavy stocking) it looks like a 9010 should be enough. Nonetheless, I don't want to decide a month after I get it that I should have gotten a bigger skimmer. Would I benefit from the 9015 or would the 9015 be overkill? I also looked at the Master DOC, but it seems like overkill to the point where it might not even work well, plus it is a lot of cash and may have too big of a footprint for my sump.

Any thoughts?

I use a 9010 on under 40 gallons. I don't think 9015 would be overkill on 120.

Get the 9010. The 9015 is just a 9010 with a bigger cup and you can upgrade later if you see the need.
