I have a couple of the Reef Octopus® 6″ Recirculating Skimmer running on my coral tanks for 2 years now. Havent had any problems with them and they pull some pretty funky skimmate.

SWC cone skimmer,great skimmer and low price . I picked mine up from Will at AO,sponsor. He has them running on his system so you can see what they pull out. Seeing is believing,lol,.

I ran a reef octopus hurricone cat 2 on my 180 and it was awesome! Their support is best I've ever experienced.

My cousin runs a bub mag 180a On his tanka and loves it though. Me personally I'd go with the reef octopus

After doing search on both skimmers i came to a conclusion and will be going with the Bubble Magus BM-NAC5 skimmer. The reason why i went with the Bubble Magus BM-NAC5A is because later on i will upgrade to a bigger tank maybe a 100G or 120G or even a 125G so i wont have to spend money on another skimmer when i can use the same skimmer over again on the new tank.

Don't want to appear like I'm beating a dead horse here, but if you were to join the club and get involved with the GB, you would save more than enough to pay for the membership, if all you bought was the skimmer.

I am currently running a bubble magus nac7 cone skimmer. i will never buy another skimmer! dead silent! i mean when i plugged it in i had to look at it to make sure it was running. it pulls some nasty stuff!! all around great skimmer, and the price is perfect!

oh, and there is a mod for the nac7. which i plan on doing, even though it pulls out some nasty s**t as is, but it seems this mod makes the skimmer even more beastly!
