yeah, some people say that the css is not a good skimmer. I have to disagree, mine pulls a lot of nasty goodness out of my tank. For the money you can't go wrong.

I have to go along with you guys too. I've always heard bad things about them but I bought a super skimmer and I LOVE it, it does a really good job on my 55 gal. :cheer:

just hooked mine up and besides the touchy nature of the water supply, LOL see what happens if you turn the knob all the way up really quick, i dare you lol
other than that its been good and already it is pulling out junk 3 days into installation.
got the 125 for a steal 114.00 brand new
Disclaimer: Do not turn knob all they way up unless you are quick to the power off, and have a wet dry vac handy lol this skimmer has enough power to blow the lid off the cup. and possibly could put out a large fire if aimed right lol

sorry to say but i am glad to hear im not the only one with a wet floor hehehehe
random thought,,, my only other skimmer was a cpr back pak and no issues like that were possible. is this a coralife only issue or do other skimmers out there have the blow the lid off the cup problem.
I quess they warned us by calling it a super skimmer lol
still wet floor an all im still happy with it.
