Tale of two skimmers..
Hey, before I go out and drop the cash for a skimmer, I wanted one last set of opinions. I know I am probably setting myself up for a pro/con battle but thats ok
 Looking at Reef Octopus 4" Pinwheel In Sump Skimmer OCT NWB110 for $169 or Bubble Magus BM-NAC3+ Protein Skimmer for $149.9 Both have been recommended to me, both have a 5 star rating, just unsure which way to go.

I've owned both brands, with a nwb 150 and bubble magus 180 cone skimmer and much preferred the Bubble magus...not quite apples to apples, but thats all I know...The NWB's underperform unless you want to mod the impeller
