which skimmer

You want to shoot for double total water volume...check out pet mountain cause they're running a pretty decent sale atm. Scotty and I were looking at prices and some stuff looked well priced.
 
from the 2 you posted I like the functiopn of the reef octopus better. when looking at the water outlet, the reef octopus is easier to control the flow without making a mess. IMO reef oco all the way
 
+1 on the reef octopus. I have the 8" version of the same series on my 150 with 75 sump and it works perfectly and it is very easy to maintain.
 
how heavily stocked is your tank? the aqua euro is going to be undersized imho and that reef octopus is going to be just on the edge. skimmers are one of those things where you get what you pay for, if you can go for a super reef octopus 250 or like a vertex in-180 or in-250 or even afford a vertex alpha 170 you will probably be much happier. (voice of expereince here, i am now on my third skimmer each on has been more expensive and if i just bought the higher quality one up front i would have saved a bit of cash)
