I agree the Aqua C remora hang on skimmer does a good job. My LFS uses them with amazing results. The pice is good too, check out ebay for some really good deals on them.

Selecting a skimmer is a 50/50 decision. If some one has one that performs good for them, they think it is "the best". It is subjective. I use the Coralife Super skimmer and think it performs great. It can become an issue of "6 of 1, half dozen of another".
