What would you get? Skimz SM 121, SWC160, Nac6A, Nac7 or NAC9?

I checked mine: 4" across the neck. (NAC 7).

Any reason why you're decision is limited to Bubble Magus?

500 l/h air intake, small footprint, price, easy to clean, silent pump

If money is an issue, get A nac6. For the $50 more I would get a nac7, cone skimmers are much more efficient.

If footprint is important, the nac6 will fit in more places than the nac7

I love my NAC7 from BWA.
Pulled out sooo much stuff that it astonishes me every couple of days!
Another plus: it is heck of a lot more easy on the wallet than most full-sized skimmer.

how much are these two (NAC7 & NAC 6A) at your store?
What would a shipping to Vancouver cost?
do they come with pin wheel or mesh impeller ?
what is the neck diameter of the NAC6?
220volts or 110V?
thx.

I looked it up and it looks a lot like a Nac7. Even pump is the same.

I wasn't aware that this had been proven so definitively re: cone skimmers. My impression was that recent research is showing no significant difference between cone and cylindircal skimmers.

Wow, this is a very good read, an eye opener and grounding for sure. Brings all the hype about "new" and "latest &greatest" right down.

LOL i might just boost up a flow a little on my large DIY downdraft air driven skimmer and be on par with BK on TOC removal ! LOL, because my skimmer is driven by a huge air pump, and 2 air stones last up to 6 month. A waist cup wash on it takes less time to clean then on my Deltec MCE600
