I have a BMQQ nano skimmer and it is very well built (better than an Eshopps for example) and works really well. Service from www.nuocean.com was great too.

I would debate getting a big skimmer from them when I build my next tank.

I think I have found a skimmer that I like. It is a Tunze 9010 that golbaldesigns has for a great price. The foot print is small so I can adapt my sump intake flow cover so it fill fit perfect. Getting excited to get my 155 BF set-up.

What is the footprint of the skimmer, including the pump? My rear compartment is only 6 1/2 X 5. I have still not resolved my skimming issue.
