I run a bubble king mini 180 and so far I love it. By far the smallest footprint and quietest skimmer I have owned. It was more quiet than the EuroReef I had years ago and by far more quiet than that Octopus Skimmer I had.

The water level is a bit fussy. They have a recommended max. water level line written on the skimmer, but I find that I need to run my water level above that to get a decent amount of skimmate. Otherwise the foam is super dry and most of it cakes onto the wide neck. Aside from that though, the skimmer runs like a champ and is super easy to clean.
