I would at least add LifeReef skimmer to your list. They are bulletproof, work great and certain versions can be upgraded for bigger tanks, if you ever decide to go even bigger. I would say they are better than every skimmer on your list, other than maybe Bubble Magnus.
There is a massive thread on here about them: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...99643&page=151 |

Of those on your list... I would go with the Aquamaxx Cone S q-3
But I would also consider: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/120s-...r-somatic.html On paper, the Somatic is bigger and has a lil more power from the pump too.
