I stumbled onto this link in RC yesterday. I'm in the market for a new skimmer and the Barr skimmers have caught my attention. It's for a 250+ gal system I'm in the process of setting up. There will be an upgrade in system volume some years down the road so I am oversizing things a bit.

What are thoughts on the SK1620? (haven't had a chance to read the whole thread. I'm on pg 29 )

Also, cost to run is important. My wife is on my a$$ about elec bill. Is there a comparative recirc skimmer in both cost and performance?? If I understand correctly, recirc's are cheaper to run right? Or am I incorrect about that? Thanks guys.

-Scott
