Bubble King is a good skimmer. LifeReef is also excellent. I did not have good luck with Vertex and found them incredibly unreliable. I also like the older verison of RO with the Sicce Pumps - I have found the newer versions with other pumps to be less reliable.

I am still using my LifeReefs and old ASMs (Sedra based). For all of the talk, stuff like bubble plates, cones and all of that stuff do not perform any better than a good, proven skimmer. I would go with a proven winner instead of most new stuff - my ASMs will outperform nearly all new skimmers, or are least as good.

Which skimmer was the aquabee in? Are you sure that that a new skimmer will truly be better?
