Hey guys,

I was about to order my skimmer because I thought I knew which one I wanted ... and after looking the list is back up to 3 different skimmers.

Which of these 3 would you get? and Why? Pay no attention to price, I just want the best of the 3 in your opinion and or experience

how do you find it for noise?

The quietest skimmer is desired for my setup. The wife hates when the tanks are loud lol

I have an SWC 160 cone skimmer and it's great. Very quiet and skimmate is black and nasty. It has a small foot print, well constructed, easy to clean, easy to adjust (gatevalve). I don't have a lot of experience with other skimmers really other then this one.
