I like the new skimmer that comes with the 130c. I have a 130-d but have the newer skimmer and it has been working great for me, it pulls out a lot of gunk. The break in period can last 2-3 weeks so you have to be patient but after that it will work solidly. In my opinion, I would spend my money on other equipment like an ATO (best purchase I made). At the very least that stock skimmer will get you started, you can always change it down the road.
