i have a seaclone and i wouldnt suggest getting one... they are very stubarn.. do you want a hang-on style skimmer or maybe if you had a sump? how much room do you have to work with either way?

I'd rather have a hang on that can also go in sump. this skimmer is only for about 30 gal.

super skimmer 65 i beleive is a good skimmer. I beleive that is what jason (jaybedriften) just purchased and he seems to like it alot.

the main reason why i would stear away from seaclone is in order for mine to perform right i have to clean it about once a week. and the microbubbles drive me crazy... also i have a 40gallon and it doesnt seem to skim that much.

i havnt used one but i have seen them in action and alot of people localy likes them. they are the aqua c skimmers.

i'll second the seaclones being finicky... with a few simple mods they work "alright" but I'd probably lean toward something a little more reliable without mods...
