what size is your tank if it is 75 gallons or lower i would have to say the BACK PAK. you can find them for around 150$

is the sea clone skimmer a good skimmer?

i like the sea clone it is good are you running any mechanical filteration right now. If so which one i would get maybe a magnum filter instead of a skimmer if you dont have one.

 

[corvettev12ttnos]

Hey seatank could you give me a link to that skimmer so i can look at it

 

[corvettev12ttnos]

yeah i gues so if a wet/dry is a machanical filter

Ok i found cheap yet nice looking/sounding skimmer. It's the SeaClone skimmer (new one) and here's a link to it <a href="http://www.**************.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=6&pCatId=4400" target="_blank">http://www.**************.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=6&pCatId=4400</a> so is this a good skimmer?

The sea clone is the skimmer I have, it seems to work well. I have to clean it out every day or two. The only complaint that I have is that it can sometimes be difficult to adjust correctly. All in all it does the job.

I have a seaclone on one of my tanks and had an awful time getting it to produce. I took so advice off this board and opened the air all the way up and its now working great. I would buy another one...

Corvette,
Happy Birthday!!
I have a RedSea Prism skimmer on my 45 gallon and am very happy with it. I don't remember exactly how much is cost but I'm pretty sure it was around $100.
Enjoy the day!

Hi .....Happy B-day....
The skimmer I use is a Berlin air lift 90...and I love it, I dont have to mess around with it, just put it on an Air pump, and your good to go...You have to change the Air Stone in it, but its a breeze..
All of the people I know that have a Sea Clone, down the road have had problems with theirs...
Again, Happy B-day and Gl on your choice.
My tank is a 55 gl too.
