best skimmer for 65g DT 30g sump ?

[Darthv247]

heya, was just wondering what skimmer people would choose for a 65 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump. I was thinking of this nuocean one. Im going to have mostly sps and a few lps in the tank. Should I go bigger ?

Id like this one but it may be overkill ?

I had the SWC200 on a 60 gallon with 20 gallon sump. Worked great. Loved it.

well, you might consider that for $99 more gets you a cone....

if you ever upgraded you could still use it up to about 150g sps/high bioload,
and because it's a cone, it would work better on a smaller system than a SWC/MSX extreme 200.

but any of those skimmers really are good for 65g, it's just that the bubble magus is almost the same price as the SWC 200, which is a much better skimmer, so that's a no brainer there...
