Moonpod have a BK400 on his 400g FOWLR.
Everyone I know with BK oversize it. Not much of a price difference at this point

If you are using a Red Dragon due to noise, you won't find a pump that is silence enough to run a backett skimmer.
slamajama is running a BK400 internal on his 125 gallon tank. =D
russ a sedra will be efficent but not enought like what a baracuda sequence will do to that skimmer. Beckett skimmers require alot more pressure then you think. Even if the manufactor recommends it. Look at aqua C's website and tell me those pumps they recommend is crap.
albert if you want a good skimmer just go with whatever peacan2phat or calireef says, because these guys know what they are talking about.
