What I'm looking for in a skimmer is something like the Super Reef Octopus XP1000 Space Saver SRO XP1000SSS. (This is the skimmer I am currently looking at)
Good reliable quiet pump Easy to remove lid (ER is still the best) Air Intake Silencer Easy to clean Solid body construction |

Quite pump
A big enough neck to fit my hand in to clean the body Muffler or air filter to make the skimmer quite A drain in the collection cup External pump with quick connect for cleaning A gate valve for adjusting the skimmers water level I like how the vertex skimmer necks come off for cleaning.

What i would like to see is someone build a decent HOB skimmer for nanos... no pump in the tank entirely external. the rio nanoskimmer is a good start but has issues with water level changes due to evap.

well the first and biggest choice has been made, thanks for all your feedback.
We now have our pump!  The reveal will come in about 6 weeks after we get some final testing data back from both manufacturers. |

This excites me! the $120 and $99 prices you mentioned before, are those for full skimmers or just the pump?

So what is wrong with the
Ehiem Atman 2500 IMO the Sicci 2500 has always had start up issues due to the fact that mesh wheel would push so much air that when you stop the pump it would cavitate. From My Own experience. and issues. I used to own a Bubble master 250 thought this skimmer is amazing and it was until i start having problems with the pumps.
