Hello fellow reefers I currently have a BH 100 for my 52 gallon bowfront it is moderately stocked with corals and six fish the skimmer is okay that I have but it started to leak looking for a new one money is not an option trying to find the best one suited for a larger Aquarium because I am upgrading in the next few months the ones I have been leaning towards are the reef octopus here are the links

Super Reef Octopus LX 1000S Hang-on-Back Protein Skimmer - AquaCave.com


Super Reef Octopus XP 1000S CONE Hang-on-Back Protein Skimmer - AquaCave.com


Super Reef Octopus LX 2000S Hang-on-Back Protein Skimmer - AquaCave.com

If anybody has experience with any of these please let me know also if anybody has a recommendation for a different HOB skimmer please let me know

I think over skimming is better the under-skimming so I would go as big as you can first time around so you are not so limited on bio load. Hope that helps!!!
