    All I can say is bigger is waaaaaayyyy better. Skimmers do so much work if they are quality and from my experience reef octopus is amazing. Ive had mine for over a year and runs great every day. Be careful though I've heard the bubble blaster pumps can have problems. Luckily reef octopus gives you a 3year warranty on the pump. BIGGER IS BETTER.
