 |  Help me pick a new skimmer
Ok so I have decided to upgrade to one of the best skimmers out there. It's for my 65g. If you would have to pick which would be the best skimmer?

I hope not to ruffle too many feathers but I find Aqua C's to be sub-par performers. They can skim and I appreciate the ingenuity of their spray injector however, downdrafts, Beckets, and NW's are more effective by design. As a plus to AquaC they are well made and I have had good luck with their customer support.
Of the three skimmers you have mentioned the RS-80 would be my pick. It should handle a well stocked 65 and be plug and play. | |

Look at Tunze. May seem expensive but I have the smallest(Nano 9002) and working very well with 50 gallon main in 23 gallon fuge/sump. Put them in right and they work awesome. | |
