I need to know what's the best kind of protein skimmer I can get for a 120 gallon reef tank 48"x24"x24" on a 36" high stand for around $350-$500, I was looking at the octopus dnw-200 recirculating skimmer, what is the difference between that style of skimmer and a Aqua-C EV-Series style of skimmer?

2 different technologies, octopus is needlewheel and aquac is injection. there's much more needlewheel choices that have excellent performance. also, a new kid on the block with the threadwheel technology.

I've owned an AquaC EV180 before, for about 18 months and it was OK. But when I switched to a good needlewheel, much more satisfied with the performance. Check your PM inbox, I forward you an old PM about the different skimmers I've used.
