Help me decide on a skimmer for my new tank :)

[koda_dad]

Hi all,

Well I have started purchasing stuff for the upgrade.

I ordered 2 - mp40w :) and now I am on the hunt for my skimmer.

I will looking at around 200 gallons of total water volume.

I have 2 I am looking at now...and would certainly entertain others...

The 2 on my radar currently.

Vertex IN-250 (I can purchase for $350 CDN new)
This is brand new...
VERTEX AQUARISTIK

Bubble Magus 220 Cone Skimmer ($575 CDN used)
This is 2 months old (with receipt for warranty purposes)
BUBBLE-MAGUS - Aquarium Internal skimmer|external skimmer|Dosing pump|Calcium reactor|Nitrate reductor/NO3 reductor|Filters|Turtle shell lampshade|Water monitor and controller|Additives|moonlight LED

Of these....which one would you go for?

Other than these....what others should I be looking at?

Thanks all!

Between those 2, I would pick the bubble magus. The cone skimmer seems to be the newest best thing.

I had my eyes on the SWC Xteme 160 Cone $275
.

The bigger one XTREME Cone Protein Skimmer Mini S $379
looks good as well.
