Ok so I'm in the process of looking for a new skimmer. The total water volume will be about 95 gallons, heavy bio-load, and in-sump. Any advice or reviews would be great

Do you have a budget figure? I have been looking at the Warner Marine skimmers for a while now, they seem to be very well built, use very little in wattage, and pull TON's of air! I am thinking of getting the K-1 when it is available to replace my MR-2...

SWC-200 would be my choice then, I think it is $279... Look for one with an 8" main body, the uses the Sicce pin/mesh wheel pump, that will give you the best performance per dollar spent.
