Looking to get a skimmer

Mattyice008 · May 19, 2013

So I finally have the money to get a protein skimmer.
Budget: $100-$225.
Tank size: 70gallons
Sump size: 20gallons

Area that the skimmer will go in is:
10.5 inches long, (left to right)
12 inches wide, (front to back)
15 inches from bottom of tank to water surface
25 inches from bottom of tank to the bottom of the display tank

Things I'm looking for, in order of importance.
1. Easy to use
2. quality
3. quiet

Please let me know what you guys have in mind, there are so many to choose from

Oh there it is haha, thanks.
Looks like I'm just deciding on which site to buy from, because I'm also wanting to by a fragging kit and I want the best deal.

I looked and looked and the only thing i could come up with is that the cheap site is a chinese factory direct type deal. Fish-street.com sells them for 85 and i know they are close with chinese factories. The cheap sites have no chance of honoring any warranty. I have a bm nac 6 and it works great and a replacement pump(which i have bought already but didnt need) was only 60$.
