Deltec, Vertex, Euro Reef, Tunze all have quality models that would suit your tank. A few newer companies are also getting good reviews and come at good prices such as Bubble Magus and Eshopps.

+1, I agree with the above.

If interested, I am selling a Tunze 9010, used it for only 4 months, still under warranty... I bought it for $450, JL is now selling it for $405.... I will let it go for $275.

PM me if interested... You can't go wrong with the above recommendations, those are the top rated units.

check out eshopps... Im in the market for a new skimmer too and have done some research and they seem to be a decent skimmer and are very cheap(under $350). Im buying the PSM-150 for my 120gal.

If you ask others, many will say that you get what you pay for... I am one that can also say that. Buying a used top brand will always be better than a new cheaper one. Just my 2 cents.

I personally use EuroReef and Hydor in my tank, both great skimmers

I agree 100% but its hard to come by a good used skimmer lately. Plus I dont have the cash for a BK. I currently run a Euroreef but i busted the thing and now it pour bubbles in my sump so im buying a eshopps and gonna see how that goes. If i get i good X-mas bonus i might spoil myself with a BK mini lol

cheers

Cost will very but Bubble Kings are supposed to be one of the best, there is a knock off version called Magnus Bubble or something like that, even they get ok reviews, I think Red Sea has a nice new one as well..good luck and good hunting.
