Does this Skimmer fit my needs?
For a 75 gal mixed reef setup, would this skimmer(the one rated for 125gal) be considered poor,alright,good,great?

I've never used one, but most people that have one recommend them. It certainly is a good skimmer for the price.

Re: Does this Skimmer fit my needs?
oh ok biff, but i think i like the one ryan pointed out to me now. Due to the fact that its rated for more an extra 30 gallons and its a little cheaper. And isnt octopus a great brand??

Re: Does this Skimmer fit my needs?
i have heard coralife skimmers are junk but dont take my word on it, i've never used one. Are you planning on a reef setup? Just remember you get what you pay for, and sometimes you pay more for what you get.

Re: Does this Skimmer fit my needs?
Coralife skimmers are good once they're broken in. Mine picks up lots of crap. I have to empty tthe cup at least three times a week. I'm planning on adding a tubing and having it fill a jug but hasn't done it yet.
