They are definitely one of the best skimmers. However, they do require a big pump and some extra fiddling to get it to work properly. Go for it man!

I have a ES-100 on a 120gal with 40gal sump. and it works like a champ. I have a Coral Life 580p pump and it works well and keeps up with a SPS tank. The build quility is also top notch !!

I have a bullet 2 and love it. It did take me quite a long time to get it dialed in, but like people say, that is true of beckett skimmers in general. It pulls tons of stuff out of my tank. Very nice quality too.
