man this is a pain(but fun)down to the final three
Ok here we go I have a 150 gal. tank with a 75 gal. sump filled 12 inches high so somewhere around 40 gal. give or take.I know myself I will have a alot of fish in it and a good mix of corals.So here are the three I have narrowed it down to.Oh and please don't tell me MSX or octo extreme I just don't care for the pumps on those skimmers.
1.first choice is an ATB I can't decide me or small. 2.second choice bubble king mini 180 3.third choice Octo pro 300 (this is the one my wallet says to get) what do you all think thanks

All three are great choices, I just got the OCTO Extreme 300 on a 150 W/ large sump and fuge. She has doubled the performance of my ASM G4X.
If I had the money to throw at it (which I don't) I would go with the Bubble King. |

I have the same exact set-up as you(45 gallons in my 75 gallon sump), I use the Octo 300. Its great. I can tell I have plenty of room for more fish too.
Don't all these skimmers use the same pump?(The mini prolly uses a smaller pump) It seems that is the single most important part of the equation. Why spend more than you have too.
