Skimmer Question

[nrao2k12]

Please suggest an alternative to Coralife super skimmer 65G skimmer, i am planning to set up a second tank, the sump that i have instock for the tank fits this skimmer, had an extra Coralife super skimmer 125G and tried to fit in my sump and turns out it to be bigger and wont fit.

Product Dimensions of Coralife skimmer 65G : 10.6 x 15.7 x 7.6 inches

Please note my budget is about $250 to buy new/used alternative skimmer to Coralife super skimmer 65G.

for that budget I would look in the Reef Octopus line... even try to find something used?

Edit: btw.. it would be FAR superior to the Coralife

It is good for the money but I think it would be a little small for the 125 g. I would look at the NWB 150 or 200 . ( even then for 125gal a 150NWB would be the lowest)
I have 2 of the NWB 150 and they seem to do a ok job they are not 500$ skimmers but they do work. I also have a NWB110 on a tank that is a 34 cube with a 12 gallon sump. I works good on it but its alot smaller than 125 g.
I looked around and found a New Reef Oct 150 for 200$. I think it was 225 and I found a coupon code that saved 25$.
I have a Bubble Magus 220 that was just over 300+ and it works great but it was really big and filled my sump to the max.

thanks, i will check the dimension of my sump that i have, since you have the NWB 150 maybe you can help me figuring out if this would fit in it.
