you're absolutely right! I have been in this hobby for 15 years I have never held on to a skimmer for more than 2 months ! I used practically everything out there since I come across alot of equipment and learnt quite a bit, I would say deltec and ATI bubble master are amongst the best skimmers in the market for the buck, I found euro reef after awhile just didn't perform like it did at first h&s recirculating kicks ass. I keep large amounts of sps and moving on to a much bigger set up so I buy quality and long term performance!! I have been at times where my water changes weren't done for months "either than toping off" and my water tests are still prestine and my sps grows like crazy!! but let me know if you need an indication for a skimmer not trying to say I know more than you but I have used and abused many brands!!
