I have the NAC 7 and I love it. Foams really well, solidly built, easy to put together, easy to dial in and the cup is easy to remove for cleaning.

They are both great skimmer but Id have to go with the In-180 if comparing the 2. We sell both and we love them both, they are both close in price NAC $249 and IN-180 $299.

The biggest difference between the 2 is the foot-print. The IN-180 is huge where the NAC 7 is very compact. I would post a comparison picture but the NAC are on BO.

Here is a visual of the in-180


IN-180
Footprint 14″ x 10½”
Height 24½”


NAC 7

Footprint 9.4″ x 7.8″
Height 20"


Good luck with your purchase

We have a Vertex In-180 skimmer and we are extremely happy with it...pretty good skimmer for the price.

I have hands on with both..... vertex seems to be built a little beefier but is noisy and large..... BM seems a little plasticy, but is quiet and has a nice small footprint..... the pumps on both have had issues......but one cant expect too much from a cheap skimmer
