I have a Super Reef Octopus 3000 internal. It's got the water blaster pump on it, not the newer diablo DC motor.

It's completely silent. I don't hear air sucking in, I don't hear water moving around, it skims really really well, and pulls tons of junk out of the water.

I've only owned SRO skimmers, so I can't comment on others... but I really like mine.

I know SRO is spendy, but imo this was worth it.

Vertex omega and Csc are pretty much on par with pricing, size and use of the same pumps, sicce.

Although the omega looks like a baby bk it says it has a rating of 150g, the Csc on the other hand says 200g

The curve 9 I am not a huge fan of and don't think it will fit your space as its 23" tall.

I have two Diablo Octopi 300 with the DC motor and I love them except for when I have to clean out the collection cups; then I'm cursing their efficient design because the skimmate is just disgusting coming out. They're silent as can be, easy to tune in, and do a great job at skimming.
