sorry you obviously don't know what you're talking about. H and S owns all. Then there are skimmers like the bubble king. Deltec is also good. You need to do more research

Well I could have named those but as I said at the top of the poll its over a 55gallon(so it would be semi nano-reef) I didnt want to go to all the super big pricy ones because nthere are to many. Please also understand the post before belittleing others. Their was a other slot too. Also I did do Deltec.

I voted other because you forgot PM's bullet series.

 

I like there bullet series for wet skimming because they don't taper the "top section" like other skimmers do.

 

My next tank will be a 48x18x18 (ala tigah) 67ga.......I'm going to put a PM bullet 2 dual beckett on that.

I also voted OTHER, as you left off the ever so popular PRIZM skimmers.

 

It's what I've been using, and IMO it works great, probably not the 'best' but it's a heck of a machine. @$100 (and less)

 

-h-

well I personally have used the Aqua C and yes they are over priced. I currently use the CSS and it is the best priced skimmer I have ever owned and it works great too!

Sorry didnt read all the posts :)

 

I think this may be a slanted poll since most people have never used anymore than one maybe two skimmers on the list. Rather, the poll should ask which skimmers people have used or the best ones they have used. Im sure a $500 skimmer will easily beat a $100 remora, but not many have used the latter because of its cost...

 

Just a thought...

There are so many factors, you should divide it into HOB, in-tank, and sump based and lastly price/value. For example, for HOB the Deltec MCE600 is probably the best but it also costs $500. In-tank, the new Tunze's are pretty good, etc.
