Skimmer Question

Need to add a skimmer to my new set up (120 gallon with a eShopps R-200 sump). My sump water depth in the skimmer area is 9" to 10". My LFS recommended the eShopps S200 skimmer which has a recommended water depth of 7" to 9" inches.

I had a bubble magus curve 7 on my last tank and really liked it. Looking at the bubble magus curve 7 elite skimmer

https://www.aquacave.com/bubble-magu...e-psk-600.html

This one has a recommended water depth of 9.5 inches to 11 inches which would really work well in my sump.

Since there is a pretty good price difference, wondering which on of these would be a better or is there another skimmer that I should be looking at? Would prefer an internal pump to save some space for other equipment in the sump.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Don't let water depth alone make your decision, you can always raise the skimmer.
