    ^ that skimmer is very different then the one posted. That one is basicalyy a cpr bakpak, or at least very similar.

    The one I recomended is very different, and much more, imo, eficiant. It has the pump external from the tank, and doesnt have to send the bubbles through tubes. I beleive this also helps with noise.

    Not sure on pump differences between the 2 though...
