They service a lot of water; about 550g right now actually.

That photo is about two weeks old. The skimmers are slowly starting to settle into about 1/2 collection cup every 7 days now.

After having bought a Diablo DC skimmer 6 months ago, I will never go back to a non-DC brand (well maybe other than BK). My Diablo 170 is not audible outside the stand, is very consistent and stable, and produces some great skimmate.

Default Skimmer

Thanks for all the feed back . It turns out that all the skimmers I was thinking about are going to be underpowered for my system . I have been advised to think big I like the Diablo Octopi 300 and the other Reef Octopus Skimmer but they have a very large footprint . I think I need to find a skimmer with an internal pump to save space in my sump. Most likely a cone skimmer of some kind so I can through my budget out the window . I have been recommend a alpha cone or a bubble king mini . I also was thinking about a skimz

Good choice. You never hear much negative from those that actually own a BK
