I have about 125 total water volume and going towards sps so looking to get a new skimmer. I did a little research and man the new skimmers look crazy and DC pumps. Don't get me wrong I love my ATB 840 but looking for smaller footprint and DC is a plus. Budget is around $500. Anyone have experience with the skimmer below that can comment on cleaning, noise, replacement pump cost, warranty, etc??? Here is what I narrow down to and the con about the skimmer from my research. Can anyone give me some Pros and Cons with the following skimmers??
AquaMaxx ConeS Q-3 (not DC)
Simplicity 320DC (Jebao pump)
NYOS Quantum 160 (issue with cup removal?)
Your Choice Aquatics DC22 (Not a lot of reviews out there)
Reef Octopus Regal 200SSS (looks like Jebao pump)
