Skimz SM-251 V Deltec SC2560

[asylumdown]

I know I know, another 'this skimmer or that skimmer' thread. However, I just finished reading the skimmer review posted by mat20040 (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=80512) and it made me think.

I was originally planning on buying a Deltec SC2560 for my tank, but after reading that skimmer, I'm starting to think that maybe spending 2 grand when I can spend less than 1 for something that works as well is stupid.

The sump is already built, and the sump chamber was built expecting a small footprint skimmer (specifically the Deltec), so I can't switch to something that has an obnoxiously large pump sticking off the side of it.

I'm thinking a possible candidate instead would be the Skimz SM-251. Less than half the price, close to the same footprint. I can't find any reviews on this skimmer specifically (though plenty on other Skimz models which are largely positive). Anyone here use one? Know anything about it? It's less than half the price...

Tank will be almost 360 gallons of total water, but display will be around 275

Thanks!
