Skimmers are like beer. There are a hundred choices and everybody has a favorite, but at the end of the day they all do the same thing. There are a few skimmers that dont actually work, but for the rest of them its really a matter of personal preference.

Things that should dictate your choice:

• Dimensions of skimmer vs space you have available
• Your budget
• Reputation of pump
• Efficiency of design
• Cost of operation (some skimmers use large power hungry pumps)
• Aesthetics

Its best to consider your requirements vs your budget and space limitations to see which skimmers could work, that way you can reduce the models to evaluate.
