IMO I have tried many different Beckett's ,ya they are good ,but over rated. your constantly having to tweak them clean the coolection cup dump this clean the beckett. make sure the thing doesnt over flow. To much tweaking and to get a good skimate you have to run wet ,thne its not a good . ANd you need a huge pressure rated pump to blast it.

But Since I have gotten my Euro reef CS 250 MAn All I can say is WOW the crap that its pulling out of my tank. its quiet. Low watts to run even with the dual SP 3 pumps.
And with it running dry its really pulling crap out the thing I have to do is clean the cup every once in while with the Beckett you had to keep it cleanall the time after awhile it would slow down on the preformance if it wasnt cleaned.

THe Euro reef run great even when its dirty. Enough said on that.

So Ya Bullets IMO Crap, Some people swear by Beckett skimmers My self I rather have a strong name to settle on. Euro reef , Deltec, Bubble king, YA YA YA I know I like the expensive ones...
