Help picking out a skimmer

[newreefer03]

I am contemplating getting a new skimmer. I have a 72 bowfront with a 29g partitioned off as a sump. I have a mixed reef with 9 fish. I have limited sump space so I have narrowed it down to a few but would like opinions on them. Currently I am using a Remora Pro HOB w/ Mag 3 (was going to HOB on the sump but cup would not fit under stand with it HOB).

1. Reef devil pro ($250)
2. Sumpbuddy 40 ($210+pump)
3. Tunze DOC 905 ($255)
4. Octopus NW110 ($129)
5. Pacific Coast NW1000 ($110)
6. Octopus NW 150 (would be tight) ($159)
7. EuroReef RS80 (would be tight) ($260)

Thanks in Advance.

If you're thinking about adding coralife to your list. I've got a 125 w/ pump nib for 100.00.
And a used one for 75 (6 months)

I've considered both but the G1 is a little too tight to fit in the space and I may consider the coralife again.

SWC Extreme 160 http://www.marinesolutionsinc.com/c.../index.html?osCsid=uplsp1tb0g2uelno4eorlvov90 I really want to see someone try one of these skimmers as they are very close to the bubble masters at a fraction of the price. They use the same mesh wheel Sicca pumps as well.

I've been very happy with my NW200. I'd buy it again in a second

The main issue is space. I need something with a footprint less than 8x10 inches yet works better than a remora pro. I may end up trying the remora pro inside the sump a la urchin.

Anyone use the Sumpbuddy or Tunze DOC?
