I had a Jebo hob skimmer on my 180. All I ever heard was bad things about them but I found: It was very quiet, The only sound was water going down a ramp about 2". It pulled about a cup of thick black goo every 4-6 days. It never leaked, not even a little bit. It was very easy to adjust. It cost me $30 on E-bay. I now have a bigger skimmer but I am keeping the Jebo for a future cube or something. These are my experiences yours may differ. I liked my Jebo

I had a Remora about 10 years ago and it was just about the worst skimmer I've ever used (I think I actually had better results from my Seaclone so it's a toss up). It skimmed next to nothing, and was way too noisy (yes I'm aware of the mods to quieten them).
I haven't used this skimmer but I've read decent reviews and they cost about the same as a Remora: http://progressivereef.com/proddetai...prod=OCTBH100F Check out Reef Central for reviews

I have an Aqua-medic Blue T1000 HOB skimmer and I really like it. I don't use it as an HOB, I use in in sump. The big thing is that it's pretty freakin huge. Biggest HOB skimmer I've ever seen. It's pretty quiet and only uses 12W so I can't complain about power usage.
Had to get it from www.aquacave.com though.

Hmmm, I have heard good things about the octopus line of skimmers. It would be nice to talk to someone who has used one. I am having such a hard time figuring out what to go for, everyone says something different!
