    i have the 125 and the smaller one I think it is a 65 but both work good just keep them clean and they will do you good. sometimes I have let mine go long without a cleaning and it stops making bubbles. but after a good cleaning all is well.

    I used a 125 for quite awhile. I never had any complaints other than the fact the pump hangs from it by some flex hose. Get some plastic hose clamps to hold it on good, otherwise the hose wears out and the pump falls off. The collection cup becomes a bit hard to take off after it's used for awhile, but it has a drain hole you can connect some tubing to to empty it.

    Other than that though, it foams up very well, runs relatively quiet and doesn't put out more micro bubbles than other similarly sized skimmers I've seen.

    i found a quick and easy way if it stops making bubbles , is to blow into the open part of the air intake. works the majority of times. if not, easy enough to clean up better.

    Very true. check into the Aqua C too before you buy. Either way I'm sure you will be very happy with your new skimmer.
