Now I know that some are rated more than others i never look at that for a few reasons the type off skimmer isn't always spot on unless you are buying BKs
DELTECS
huge power Becketts for 1000's of gals

price sometimes will show you that a 250dollar skimmer can out preform a 500-dollar skimmer its due to the pump and the main chamber and allowing how mu h air to pull without coughing up.

so please if you have these skimmers and are using them, please tell me what and why these are a good investment
