vertex in100, the bk is way over priced, had a bk mini 160 and my vertex pulled as much as it did. one of the things to factor in is sump depth, deltec is nice but over priced as well, find a das ex 1, actually guy selling one on here forget who though, that was one of my favorite skimmers ive owned out of 20. currently run the vertex in100 gen 3 on my heavy stocked 80g system, but i did switch out pumps to a mini airstar. swc 160 would be nice also and if ya don't mind spending the extra change then get the atb 840 2.0 { skimmer i really want to try out } heard nothing but great stuff and is one of the most balanced skimmers out there
