Im researching new skimmers and have it narrowed down to a couple of in sump models. Ive never heard of SKIMZ but the design and footprint are really attractive for my sump. Going thru a ton of previous skimmer threads before I posted I see alot of SRO users here. I like the Alpha but it is a little out of the budget, is it that much better than the SRO?
My needs in order of importance are:
1. Skimming Ability
2. Energy Efficient
3. Quiet
Who has the models below? Feedback?
Alpha Vertex 200
