I have neither in stock at the moment but I can have any of them by first thing next week. I would go for the SWC 160 Xtreme Cone if you can... You will be very impressed.

hmmmm let me think about it. I'm going to have a fairly stocked 175g tank. What size is the SWC skimmer go up to? (Gallons wise?)

Well neither the NCA7 or the Extreme 160 Cone are rated for 175 Gallons; however, the 160 will still outperform the NCA7.

If you were to buy a Skimmer that is factory rated for a well stocked 175 Gallon you would want to choose the SWC Mini S Skimmer, it is rated for 180 Gallons at heavy Bio load.

Review of the Mini S Cone.

That skimmer's footprint is to large. I can't have something larger than 10"x10"...(LxW) wise. Is there any skimmer you can suggest that is good up to 175g but with that small of a foot print? Don't say tunze skimmers b/c I've read some not great reviews on them.

I most certainly would never recommend a Tunze Skimmer to anyone. It is easy to recommend skimmers; however, your budget is also important to take into consideration.

Here is one that will work with your footprint and bio load; however, it may or may not be in your price range......

Give me another 2 weeks and it would be in my budget.
I could do that but I really don't want to spend over $400. Guess the SWC is the best I can do.
