don't know if you ruled this out already but I have an swc 160 cone skimmer that I got this summer that I've been really happy with. They are right in that price range.

Yeah I just sold mine lol. It was a killer skimmer, but he wants a true in-sump cone skimmer.

Plus, I would rather give him something new in box. I already gave him most of my hand-me-down equipment haha. His whole new system is pretty much stuff I had laying around!

LOL.

SO... I'm torn. I like the BM Curve 7 skimmer, but it is rated for 185-240 gallons, meaning that it might be a little big..... Now i've read a lot on "over skimming" and i'm not sure what to think of it. This skimmer could be good in case he decides to upgrade (which he has done twice already).

I also like the Curve 5, but it only goes up to 140 gallons.

The BM NAC7 is awesome, but reefsupplies dosn't carry that model, and I was hoping to use this website for the first time to try them out.

BM Curve 5 - http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...e-Skimmer.html

BM Curve 7 - http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...er-canada.html

BM NAC7 - http://www.goreef.com/Bubble-Magus-N...n-Skimmer.html

Like i said, the total water volume is about 120 gallons. The display is about 50 gallons.

Not sure of over skimming. I use the mce600 on my 26g cube with only 2 fish
