For that size of tank, either skimmer would work effeciently. Anything larger than a 75g I would personally think you would need a larger skimmer... But for the debate on extruded vs. cast on that Euroreef model, I think it comes down to personal preference. Either you don't mind paying the extra amout for a 'higher quality' acrylic material or you can say like the rest of us it really does not matter on extruded vs. cast (albeit you have a application without forces causing stress that would create a structural problem >_< )
