What kind of skimmer? Beckett? Venturi? CC?

[Reefer504]

Which is better a downdraft or countercurrent

I prefer the beckett, but other may disagree.

Isn't a becket a little more complicated to build?I don't need anything great my tank has been running for about a year with outy a skimmer I just want to put one back on it to cover myself for trouble down the road :D

Thanks

I have never built one myself, but they do not look any more complicated... Once you get the glueing process understood, its just a matter of cutting the acrylic... I don't think any one would be any harder to build... within reason.
