|   Just to add another two bits here, I don't think cone skimmers are really worth the price premium.  Independent tests have shown that cones really do not outperform a similar straight bodied skimmer.  The big factors in skimmer performance seem to be the pump, airdraw, amount of turbulence (or lack thereof) in the body and dwell time for the bubbles etc. rather then whether the body is cone shaped or not.  The cones may give a couple percent better performance but does 5% or less in added performance justify the big price increase? |

|   Have you thought about the BM-150 Pro? I got one because of the small foot print and relativly large bioload. Great skimmer if you can find one in stock...

|   Thanks everyone for the input but I've decided on a skimmer. You can close this thread now.
