I bought an Omega 130 Skimmer off of facebook several weeks ago for 70.00. The pump is not working and making a lot of grinding noise. Oh well. So I am looking to buy a new skimmer. Something less bulky than the Omega 130 where the pump sits outside of the skimmer. There are just so many options. So in general, are there brands to stay away from and brands that exceed the rest? I want something that I can use when I decide to upgrade bigger tank. Probably will not exceed 100 gallons.
Here are a few I was looking at:
This can drive a person nuts LOL! So many options.
