I just picked up my dream skimmer. I got it used to it wasn't to bad. Skimmer is one of the most important investments you can make for tank is what I was always told.
I second the Reeflo Orca 250. For the money, its a great value. You should break off the acrylic ring on the cover though to give you even better performance. Thats what I did with mine and it pulls a lot more skimmate than before.
