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 saw that OA was west coast distributor for SWC for just a short time. Was kinda wondering why they aren't anymore.
I need a new skimmer for 110 gallon rebuild and thought about both SWC and Bubble Magus but am having second thoughts about both.
