What about a Vertex Alpha Cone? Myself I wouldn't recommend a Vertex IN series. Been there done that- cheap lousy pumps and the pump is a pretty important part of a skimmer!!

EuroReef 180 is good, but the genX 4100 pumps anr't reliable. We use them in the store, and out of 10 of them, I bet I have replace 1/2 the impellers, and 3 pumps in under 4 years. Skimmers work great though.

It might be pricey but the Bubbleking 200 would be good. I think there was a gently used one for sale in the classifieds a couple of months ago.
I have a BBK and I really like it. Not too noisy either compared to some skimmers.

Hydor!!! You will see on my previous posts over the years, there build quality is exceptional, top notch and no one compares to their customer service. From free replacement impellors, to replacement parts that I broke again for FREE.

I've just reviewed and made a list based on suggestions (again, thank you!)
Super Reef Octopus 3000 RC Bubble King 200 Deltec Euroreef RS 180 (not genx 4100 pumps) Skimz 251 Cone Skimmer Hydor Vertex Alpha Cone Motors to consider Askoll Motor or Eheim Motor I'm going to look into these and make a decision. My tank is cycling and I know there's tons of gooey stuff in there, so need to make a quick decision! I pulled my skimmer out and took it apart yesterday to see if I could get it working, noticed some slime at the base of the cup, but nothing pushing upwards. And, its still not doing anything after putting it back together.....
