Protein Skimmer for a 90 gal
I am in the market for a protein skimmer for my 90 gal. Can I get some recommendations or advice in how to choose a PC? I heard that you should select a PC that is rated double your water volume. Is that correct or does it depend on the brand of skimmer. I don't have a heavy bio-load...4 fish, softies and LPS. Thanks.

I have an Octopus nw200 that I'm going to be selling soon, but I think the nw150 should be plenty for a 90.
I really like the Aqua C EV series skimmer I just bought, so I'd have to recommend that, too. (replaced the nw200 on my 220g)

I have a 'custom' one from a LFS and it seems to be doing the job for me.

I have an AquaC EV180 with a Eheim 1262 that I need to move soon... That was my 90 gallon skimmer, kicks but, even on my big system.
