Protein Skimmers

My current skimmer is in need of an upgrade for my 125DT.
The entire system is around 180 Gallons, I was considering the Reef Octopus NWB200 and the SWC Xtreme 200. Any opinions on either?
Thanks in advance.

Warner Marine. MF-161 or MF-201 would also both be very good choices. Top quality skimmers with super quiet and efficient pumps.
 
I just bought the SWC 160 waiting to put it in my new tank after much reading and from people on here I decided to go with SWC

I would look for a used one. I recently got a swc 160 for, 100$ and it's awesome. I love it. Easy to adjust and of I need to get a new pump u basically have a new skimmer. The body is just a shell. The pump is the heart of the skimmer Imo. So look for used. But octopus is a great skimmer. Jsut really pricey new.

I have the Reef Octopus NWB200 and it works like a charm, I bought it used of a member here so I got it pretty cheap also . In my opinion just keep your eyes peeled for a used one to go on sale and like Anthony said you might just have to replace the pump but you will most likely get a great deal.
