    What Skimmer would you buy?

    I upgraded my sump the other day to a 36x16x16 and I now plan to upgrade to an in-sump skimmer. I have a 120g with a heavy bio-load. I plan to replace my PM Bullet 2. I have done a fair amount of research and can’t decide on a skimmer. I have a $500 budget. What skimmer would you buy?
