Tunze Comline 9012 in the back corner of an IM25. It’s big but works great.

Hooked to outside air, it raised my night ph from 7.8 to 8.1

My last skimmer was an E.T.S.S. 400. It was HARD to dial in, but once it was there I was golden. My next will be an RO Regal 200-SSS

Ive only had one skimmer which is nyos 160. It's a pain to restart after it gets turned off and the skimming seems ok..not great. Again..I'm a novice here as I ran my tank for 2.5 years without one. Grabbed a reef octo 220 elite for my 300 gallon tank when I set it up...hoping it's better and less finicky.

Simplicity 240 DC On 133 gallon water volume. Very very quiet. And pulls some nasty skimmate. Almost works too well. Nutrients are very low right now.

I didn’t get it from Amazon but it was this same style model from a different site.
Don’t laugh, it actually takes out nasty stuff from my nano and has been for more than 2 years now. The suction cups suck though and I replaced them with an old mag float I had lying around. I also replaced the wooden airstone with an Eheim airstone. I feel like now is the right time though to get a ‘real’ skimmer. Suggestions?
