Still Having Problems Finding A skimmer

A few months back several of you replied to a post I made asking for
skimmer recommendations, and the majority recommended ASM, Aqua C, or Euro
Reef. All these appear to be in-sump designs. Because I bought a wet-dry
system (which will now only be used as a sump) when I bought the tank, I
don't believe I will have the space to use an in-sump skimmer. I'm pretty
sure I will be forced to use an external skimmer. Therefo

What brands can anyone recommend for external use?

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with skimmers from
http://www.myreefcreations.com They have been recommended to me, but they
use something called a Beckett Injector instead of a needle wheel, and I
can't find any information on this technology.

Can anyone give me some help? I'm not going to quibble about the cost,
since this is such an important piece of the system...I just want
something that works well that is an external design.

BTW...why are the in-sump designs so popular? Are there certain advantages
to this?

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Aqua C Remora Pro with a Mag 3 drive AWESOME !!!
Just got one. It's not even done breaking in yet and is killing my other
Seaclone skimmer.

I got it from these guys, they have the best price I can find.

I got the extra drain fitting so I can run a hose to the sink drain...

Hate to say it, but a fully inflated ballon submerged in the tank with
a pin hole leak so it makes a zillion bubbles is a far cry better than
any Seaclone skimmer could dream of being....so it sure does not take
much to beat a "SEACLOWN" skimmer, even the Red Sea prizm and the el
cheapo JEBOs run circles around seaclones.......Its pityfull too,
since the company that makes them has very good other products, and
one would expect the same out of a skimmer they put their name on.
Unfortunately not.

Check out http://www.wetwebmedia.com (May need to take the www out
of URL) On the left side of the lists on home page there is a search
feature listed......do a search on skimmers for a lowdwon on various
skimmers and the types of skimmers and the pros and cons to the
various types.....

The original frugal ponder! Koi-ahoi mates....

YES !!!
It is certainly a SEACLOWN. I've read the wetwebmedia reviews.
I believe they called the Seaclown a "Blemish on the protein skimmer
market"...oops !
I'll agree to that !

Still, I'm quite impressed with this Aqua C Remora Pro.
I'm getting some pretty fowl smelling brown colored skimmate from this baby
and a lot of it.
I've noticed the water quality has improved quite a bit...

It is pricey, but in my opinion it's the "Cats Ass" H.O.T. skimmer.
