Which Reef Octopus Skimmer Should I Get?

I have a 75 gallon tank, 10 gallon refugium, and 25 gallon sump. I have a medium bioload and am looking for a good skimmer. Do Reef Octopus overrate their skimmers like ASM does? What models are recommended for my setup?

I have the Octopus 2000i cone on my 75 gl. - it is rated for 180gl normal stock. It does a great job on skimming my tank. I believe there is a whole thread on RC about it.

I have the NW150 and after a year of use the pump is making a lot of noise! maybe the impeller needs to be replaced but I would recommend getting a SRO Cone skimmer or if the price seems to high u can get the other line with the Buble Blaster pumps which have the 3year warranty...
Im planning on upgrading soon!
