Any suggestions on what skimmer to get or if I should just keep my current BK 130?

Thanks!

While the Double Cone 130 is ideal, you could go with the Mini 160. It might be a bit inconsistent unless you run it wet or have a legitimately heavy load which would be around 25” worth of fish and relatively heavy feedings. It would be easier to tune than the 130 that you have now since you don’t have to mess with the nozzle which may not be a bad thing unless you already have the 130 dialed in. Any of the larger skimmers with the RD3 pumps would be way too large for your setup and wouldn’t be consistent. As such, I’d stick with the Double Cone 130 or get the Mini 160.
