Help with skimmer choice

my current skimmer is the current Fission Power Protein Skimmer rated 210gal. ever since i got the thing from the lfs i've had issues i walked in wanting the AquaC 180 or 240 and he said never heard of them and said that this would do as he ran the same. so i said sure. the sock ripped in 3 days got current to send another they must have changed the design and recieved one 3 times the size of the one that came and the guy at current said it was the right one. but the main reason is i am just going to go with what i wanted in the 1st place the AquaC now i know the aquaC model ev-180 will fit in one of the two smaller parts of the Model 4 MegaFlow Sump. not sure if the ev-240 will fit if anyone has the setup or knows of someone that has it working that would be great and should i go with the 240 or 180?? i have a 180gal with the sump listed above. any help would be great

 

You would have to look up the specs from EV and determine what would fit, Sorry not a lot of help but at least I bump your thread for others to find

I know the ev-180 will fit but should i be going the the ev-240 to be safe?? also would any one suggest another brand better or equal to the AquaC also staying within 100 of the price??

 

How much room do you have in your sump? Any chance of running an external skimmer like an Octopus DDNW-250 Needlewheel Recirculating ? Think you would get more bang for your dollar. Also they might use less watts than the pump needed to run your AquaC.

 

EV-240 is close to 7"x11" the EV 180 is 9"x5" .. If you can get the 240 in there then might want to consider a Precision marine Bullet 2 .. A EV 180 would be at the end of its range if memory serves me still ?
