Post subject:  Help pick a skimmer

I am thinking of upgrading my skimmer by the end of next month. Have been looking at a few skimmers and would like your input. Right now have a 75 with a huge sump. Have around 65 gal in the system. But down the line I want to upgrade to a bigger tank when I move into a house I can have a fish room for the sump. Hoping to have at less a 90 gal with the 75 as a sump or might leave it as a tank and have another sump for both tanks. Here are the skimmers I am looking at.
CS1 Cone Skimmer Kit. It's a build it yourself kit witch I like that idea, also you can buy add ons for it.

If there is another skimmer you have you like let me know I'll look at it. But if you look all of them are under 300$. I am really thinking the reef octopus. I can still go to avast and buy the add ons I want for it.
