Need help choosing Skimmer

[gpcooper]

I am looking at skimmers $200 and under for my 48 gallon tank w/ a 20 gallon sump. I am trying to see if anyone has a recommnedation regarding the Skimz SN123 Monzter Mini</em> and the Reef Octopus Classic 110INT</em>. The Skimz is 10 dollars more and has a DC pump. I am also open to other skimmers, but these two fit the need to keep the over all heigt below 20" w/ enough capacity to handle the accumulated 60 gals of water the system holds.

I have the reef octopus 150 and I would highly recommend it. Got it from rit at Atlanta aquarium

I have the RO 150 as well, but I would be surprised it it is under 20 inche's tall.

I have the RO110, other than watching the water level as it can be finicky in the beginning, once it's tuned it, it runs like a champ
