    SWC Xtreme 160 Cone vs. Reef Octopus Extreme XS 160

    Advice: AquaMaxx AM250 v. Super Reef Octopus XP2000 Space Saver

    Both will do you well. Both have good pumps. I might say the Octo... but I don't think the Octo is $100 better than the 250. Neither will be "too"...

    Can't decide on which SWC skimmer

    The 160 is not enough. While the 180 may be a good skimmer, I would not buy one with a psk2500. There are better options. Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U;...
