Tank size 150g

Sump size 30g with 10 inches of water.

Hi everyone, I am asking this question on behalf of my father that is having trouble with his current skimmer, a reef octopus 6000sss. The skimmer is not working with the water level height inside his sump. Skimmer valve is all the way closed and the bubbles still won't make it into the skimmer cup.

He is now debating between these two skimmers.

any opinions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, and happy reefing!
 
Hands down the Bubble King. I have a skimz Leopard skimmer that does a great job. May want to consider it for the price. They go on sale often at BRS. Save 10%, plus reward points. And, they sell replacement parts.
