I am using the NAC 9, I Amon the fence about this skimmer. Only reason I went from a ASM G 4 and now if I stick my hand in the skimmer level drops in the chamber, also when the water evaporate out of the last chamber if affects the skimmer a bit. I have only had this skimmer for 3 weeks so I am still tweaking it.

Since it is highly unlikely that anyone has gone through the three skimmer, can people who have used one of the three post their experiences, observations, and thoughts about them? Thanks

all else being equal, I would go with the one with the highest capability.

The pumps for the skimmer are different ones, the Sicce PSK600 and compared to the SP4000 and the ROCK - SP4000, which I don't know what company/brand they're. Does the design of the skimmer itself matter at all? Any input/experiences with these skimmers is greatly appreciated. Thanks

id steer towards the bubble magus lineup that uses the aquabee pump.

not too sure about the rock pump.
ive been running a aquabee pump for about 5 years now. sucks to find spare parts fro it, but i havent had to replace anything, cross my fingers
