Protein skimmer poll. What do you use?

Diablo DCRS-200 external power by a RO/DC 5500s skimmer pump.
My tanks are a 180gal SPS and will add a 75gal BTA tank to my setup.

Nonsense poopy pants! I'm actually a new member to the skimmerless club. I technically still run one. But let it overflow and leave the drain cap off so I'm not collecting skimmate. They're great for oxygenation.
 
Deltec AP600. It has been running on my tank for around 6 years. I have had to replace the impeller shaft and bushings but that's it. No complaints about it.
 
ETTS Sump Buddy with a Waveline DC pump. Love it love it!!! They nailed it with the Sump Buddy! Shaving cream foam like my old huge ETSS from many years ago. Skimmers NEED to be sized accordingly to operate at peak efficiency. Too large a neck for a tank and it will run idle too much. Love my skimmer and now with a DC pump they are just as efficient as anything else out there.
