That said, don't discount the Mini 160. It's still a great skimmer and if you have a reasonably decent fish load and regular feedings, it would work fine. On the flip side, there is nothing wrong with the Mini 130 or the Mini 150 for that matter. They just require more tinkering with the nozzle to get them fine tuned for the load. The sweet spot for the nozzle setting is usually between 3.5 and 5 turns out depending on the load, sump depth, water tension in the sump, salinity etc. A fraction of a turn can make a big difference so it takes some time to get them dialed in but they work wonderfully well once you find the sweet spot for your setup.

Like I said, you could go with any of the 3. How many fish do you plan and how much do you plan on feeding?
