when you look at the price of Acrylic is crazy when you get over the 12" diameter. IMO it comes down to the PUMP pretty much a piece of acrylic isnt going to make the skimmer 1/4" or 3/8" its all the same thin or thick its the pump and the Mesh, Pinwheel, Needle wheel that will drive your skimmer.
I'm using my post as a quote LOL ITs the pump that makes the skimmer, like Tony has stated. welds dont make the skimmer and the acrylic wont make the skimmer. this discussion will go on forever.

At the end of the day BrAd has his opinions on BK, and Orca's and Steve has his opinions on BK, Orcas
Chin lee will have his opinions on BK and Orca's and everyone will have there Opinions. All I can say is I hav owned pretty much every type of skimmers out there

Venturi
down draft's
Beckett's
Air driven
In sump
external
Mesh wheels
modifed Euro reef's

what I havent owned was Deltec's, which the pumps are super expensive
Bubble King's which i can't afford other then the mini's 160,180 ,200 that i could purchase unless I save up.
euroreef's RC models that are $$$$ but i took my Euroreef CS 250 and modded with the help of Sphelps to make it RC 250.

I 'm currently running a Bubble master 250 with the dual sicce pumps. 80w and I love it its short and compacted and skims my tank for what i want i have bought a second set of Sicce pumps for back up since I like this skimmer alot and want to keep it due to my setup that is very simple.

Another thing too its all what the REEFER wants to spend on a Skimmer. His /Her money at the end of the day. Thier decision
