    100g tank and the LFS offers Precision Marine and Back Pack for skimmers. what is the differance between the RL150, Bullet 1 and the ES100? Also tangster mentioned a venturi skimmer. Are those suppose to be better than others?
    thanks

    I use a Bullet 3 so I would vote for the Bullet 1.

    Bullet 1 for sure is the best skimmer in that group IMO as well.

    I use a bullet one myself.

    theres nothing in the tank but rock and sand, its removing waste from the water. Its an incredible skimmer. Thats my vote, I have no experience with the others tho. And its built solid as a rock, easy to clean.

    I am a PM dealer and have them not only on my tank but at my shop. They are a great skimmer and they stand behind there product. I have had great luck with them. I have the bullet 2 on my home tank and my water looks like air. Its so clear that the fish look like they hover!

    about 300. I got mine off ebay cheap, but it was broken (thanks mirandacollc) anyways.

    If you search " a different flow question" it will bring up pictures of my sump setup with the skimmer in there. Check it out

    You can send a Private Message to any of our sponsors like Aquatic Art Technologies to gather prices. Least expensive price I've seen so far for a Bullet 1 is $299 w/o the gate valve or pump.
