I personally use EuroReef and Hydor in my tank, both great skimmers

I agree 100% but its hard to come by a good used skimmer lately. Plus I dont have the cash for a BK. I currently run a Euroreef but i busted the thing and now it pour bubbles in my sump so im buying a eshopps and gonna see how that goes. If i get i good X-mas bonus i might spoil myself with a BK mini lol

cheers

Check out ATB 840 v. 1.5 - $649 US at Reef Specialty or some other places - supposedly one of the very best - some like it more than the Bubble King. Look for posts by ~Mojo on RC or Reef2Reef - lots of info there. I am very close to getting one after a long time of reading and looking. (Not happy with my current AquaC180).

There's a little more to this than a personal opinion

Sometimes "impartial" reviews aren't as objective as they seem.

Take your time and get what you want, I ran a cheap skimmer for almost a year and a half. All the time looking for a good used skimmer, patience paid off and I found a used SM250 bubble king, this of course limited what i could do with my tank. But now, sky is the limit. Great skimmer, lower price.

hi guys again. i ve searched over the internet and i ve found some little things that confuses me. deltec, tunze, hydor, euro-reef and vertex. all of them are the almost same price. so my question is what would you buy ifyou were me? i am thinking to buy hydor or tunze. what do you guys think about that guys. tell me your opinion pls because it will help me alot

[lastlight]

Between Hydor and Tunze? Def the BK =)

Money was an issue for me as well so I simply sold something dear to me haha. In this case it was my music collection.

Seriously...I just set my tank up and the water looks super clear and still this thing is pulling the nasties out.

If i would be you
first ;
i would buy one with at least 600 l/hour air mixing.
All Skimmers are water / air mixing devices and denser thicker air foam is your way to find a good one.
Second parameter is how quiet it is? is it silent? if not it will drive you nuts! and it will cost you more $ for power used.
Third is ;how easy it is to clean? if it is easy then you will clean it and clean skimmer is performing at its best.
