I have never tried using a beckett style skimmer so cannot comment on those. If you are prepared to spend the $ and want the best then highly recommend a Bubble King although I believe that Deltec or H&S are close as well. I have tried out a couple of the ASM skimmers (G-3 and G-4X) and they are pretty good. I have seen the Euroreefs in action and they are not bad either.

For the money you can not beat an ASM. Check them out at asmskimmer.com. You can see them in action at OA.

I just got my ASM G3 & love it. I don't think you can have it plumbed externally though. It is in-sump.

You might want to look at the Deltec HOB. There is a review in the library under skimmers.

I was thinking about that, but I think the Bullet 2 might work better for my set up...
