Skimmer Decision

I should have my tank in the next week, so i have to decide on a skimmer soon. The skimmer will have to be external. the tank will be a 135g sps loaded tank with very minimal fish.

Skimmers
1st choice: Bk 200 external
2nd: Atb 12.5
3rd: I really like the features of this skimmer: Rlss R10

It seems everyone these days use SRO skimmers but this tank will have 30+ sps frags once it gets stable, so i will need a skimmer to keep up with food i'll feed them.

If anyone can chime in with their opinion or different recommendations on other skimmers thanks

Why are you eliminating SRO skimmers? My SRO 3000XP Cone is the 4th skimmer I have purchased and is leaps and bounds better than any I had before.

I've started two other tanks and went thru buying a couple of skimmers til i was happy. So this time i want to get the best possible skimmer for the job.
