best protein skimmer

[reefnoob]

I found 2 protein skimmers at aquacave.com. Is this a good website? The two skimmers are:
Reef Octopus BH 2000 Hang on Back Protein Skimmer by CoralVue - AquaCave.com

Reef Octopus BH 100F Hang on Back Protein Skimmer with Filter System - AquaCave.com

Which would be better for a 90 gallon tank? Are they both good machines?
Thanks in advance.

I would go with the 2000. I think the 100 is only rated for a 60 gallon tank. However, the website doesn't say.

How about the Reef Octopus BH 1000 Hang on Back Protein Skimmer by CoralVue - AquaCave.com
It says its for tanks up to 90 gallons.

I am currently using the BH 1000 on my 55gallon tank and I am happy with the performance.

However in your case, you would probably get better results with the BH 2000.
They always recommend that you get a skimmer that is rated higher than your tank (or even rated for double your tank's size).

The BH 1000 is rated at 90 gallons and would be at its threshold when running on your tank. The BH 2000 will give you that extra margin.

I would go with the BH-200
And the link you just posted doesn't have any reviews on it, not saying it may be a bad product, but maybe play it safe with the 2000 IMO.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
