I have the Skimz monster sm167 dc skimmer on my 75 and love it. I upgraded from a RO 110int. Ac skimmer, I never did like that one. Not saying the 167 will work for you but the brand may be worth a look.

There are larger reef octos.
Why do you think it is undersized?

yes and larger prices too lol the one they recommend for my size tank and bioload is nearly 600 dollars i was looking at the bubble magus because it was priced decently and also i want a bigger skimmer because i believe the one i have now is having trouble keeping up with my bioload
