The smallest cone I make right now has a footprint of 9x10.5 so thats just a little to big for you. If you are on a budget you might want to consider the SWC Extreme 150 BMK for $199. Its the same as the SWC cone 160 other then its not a cone and honestly on that size body I am not sure if it going to make that big of a difference. It uses the same pump, and has the same build quality as the cones. ]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2011 12:19:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47919&PID=408790&title=is-this-a-good-skimmer#408790 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47919&PID=408786&title=is-this-a-good-skimmer#408786 Author: Jeremyw

Some of the Bubble Magus skimmers are okay and some aren't so great. The first one you asked about doesn't have the best of reviews. The Nac6 and Nac7's are okay and perform well but there not made as well as the SWC cones. I have played with both skimmer brands and if I had to choose I would go with the SWC, the fit and finish of all the components are much better on the SWC brand of skimmers. I am not bad mouthing Bubble Magus, for the price their Nac 6-7 skimmers are not bad little skimmers. The SWC cones just have a better neck connection, smoother transition from body to neck and like I said before they are just built a little better. ]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2011 12:01:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47919&PID=408784&title=is-this-a-good-skimmer#408784 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47919&PID=408770&title=is-this-a-good-skimmer#408770 Author: Jeremyw
