What are good brand skimmers?

[messeduptriple]

Can someone shoot me a little list of good skimmers ? I know octopus is one but what else? I couldn't find any on ebay used ... so I was gonna look for another brand that I could buy used, moneys a bit tight so if I can save a few bucks it would be great.

What size tank?
How heavily stocked?
HOB, In-sump, or stand-alone skimmer?
I'm really liking the Eshopps S-150 cone skimmer that's on our 100 gal ATM. Works well, very reliable, didn't kill the wallet.

I'm a big fan of Super Reef Octopus plus they have the automatic neck cleaners which lowers the daily maintenance requirements.

I really like Reef Octopus as well. I don't think I would switch at this point.
SWC also makes some pretty good skimmers...
And if I were to switch - it would be for a Bubble King, ... but those are clearly out of my price range for a skimmer.

Agree on the Bubble King, however, I am a big price vs. benefit guy and the benefit of a Bubble King vs. the added cost I just don't see as worth it.
