LOL...I am not buying anything I am just trying to compare all the brand name skimmers. Since I was a little disappointed with my Bubble Master skimmer.
I am so broke right now I can't afford a cheese burger.

hahah...honda engine on a 30000gph water pump that is meshmodded with an air pump powered by a F1 starter? I'd so do that for my dream tank!
If you choose on a Deltec I say go for a 902. Why not try out that Dart NW skimmer from premiumaquatics for like $1200? It seems to be able to hold a constant head of foam. |

I know a friend that used to be a distributor for Deltec, he was selling his skimmer and I wanted to buy it, this is what he said:
" dont buy this bro, I use to be a Deltec distibutor and they are way overrated, I compared these and ran this vs other skimmers and not worth the money...." bought an H&S and my cup is full everyday! I clean the cup and its full the next day.... I will never buy another skimmer again.

i went from a 702 to a bubbleking, and a friend has a smaller h&s. all three are real nice. the deltec was user friendly and skimmed great. i like the h&s also for same reasons as deltec. but because the h&s is clear, it helps to see when you tweek the skimmer. the bubblking just has incredible pumps, nothing ive seen comes close.the bk also great tunning ability. all 3 skimmers will do a great job
so my 2 cents, out of the three you listed, would be the 3 pump h&s. i might even try that skimmer gcarrol showed us, it looks great. |

That Reeflo skimmer is nice but if you have to unscrew all those plastic screws just to get the cup out, that would be such an INCONVINIENCE!
