Which skimmer? DOC Nano or 9005?

[JGross4]

I am going to be building about a 22 gallon sump/refugium for my 36 gallon bow front mixed reef. so in total (minus live rock and sand) i will have about a 50 gallon system. Should i go with the DOC nano or 9005? the Nano is much cheaper, but if i need the 9005 i will get it. please help!

Thanks!

The 9005 will definitely be a stronger performer. Just keep in mind it needs a 10" water level as delivered so you will need a deep sump section or you will want to buy the extension set for in sump use but that is a pricy option and just $20 less than a 9010 which includes the sump set.
