    Bubble Magus, Eshops, Vertex if you want bang for buck. SWC, Octopus for all around great skimmer. ATB, Warner Marine, Bubble King if you want the best.

    I love my SWC xtreme 160 cone. Reef Octo is very popular...mainly their cones and the one on "stilts"

    Are there any other suggestions for great skimmers that haven't been placed here yet?

    vertex skimmers seem good but I haven't used them. I have used the coralife nw imo they are the best cheap skimmer you can get(sub 100 dollar on ebay).

    There are sooo many great skimmers I'm afraid I might get something useless and regret it later one. Are there skimmers I should stay away from?
