Is anyone even selling Beckett skimmers anymore? I thought they were collecting dust along with air driven and downdraft skimmers? There are a lot more efficient options available that don't require a massive pump to drive the skimmer.

Precision Marine, Aqua C and MRC are still in existence if you want a Beckett. Ocean Aquatics can sell you a PM, J&L has Aqua C listed and I think MRC just sells over its website. There was also a used PM Bullet 2 and a 3 listed recently in the buy sell section of this site. There are probably more around too but those are just what I've noticed and I'm not really paying very much attention.

Actually i saw an amazing Beckett down at MACNA. Check out www.bashsea.com I've never been a Beckett fan but what I found amazing on these was that even a little pump (their example was a little Rio) could pull big numbers and do an amazing job with their special design.
I was really tempted to buy one of these rather than the Octo skimmer I ended buying.

I got a Super Reef Octopus recently and love it. Pulling out so much more than my old skimmer and its solid, set it and forget it.

I am running a SWC 230A Cone skimmer on my 250Gal, works fantastic. Very quiet and it pulls stuff out that I don't want to talk about ....
