Corallife 220 Skimmer - Opinions Needed

Lizardgi

I used to have lizards
I'm in the market for a skimmer and have the chance to buy a new Coralife 220 for $125. I know this won't be as good as other high-end skimmers out there, but would I be happy with it for my 125gallon reef? I would eventually place it in my sump.

I've got to let the seller know today. Thanks!
 
Yeah I think it depends on who you ask. I had good results with my Coralife 125 on my 80Gal.

I currently run a Reef Octopus Extreme 250 and while it is better I can't say it is $275+ better.
 
I am in agreement. While the Coralifes obviously are not as technically advanced as a reef octopus the price is worth it with it being the larger one.

The main difference according to coralife is the size of the skimmer body. They told me the pumps while different part number have the same rating of 600gph.
 
my 220 is doing ok. I'm no pro at it and i know i should have bigger but I paid duble that price.

If you ever upgrade your skimmer, you'll see the difference in a better quality skimmer by how much more crap it will pull out of your tank.
