Im placing an order for a seaclone skimmer tommrow. Im getting an 100 or 150. Does anyone else have one of these? I heard they really help clean out the tank. The 100 model is $60 and the 150 model is $75..PLus $8 shipping charge.
Im using it on my 125. In that case i might have to get the 150 model. The 100 model works for up to 100 gallon.

Glad I caught this thread lion. I was just searching for the other thread "Need advise" or something like that and I cant locate it. We were discussing fish choices for your 125 I believe. Know what happened? Last post I made I think was Sat.

I have one and it doesn't work very well.
Most here have very low opinions of these skimmers. Since most think skimming is the most important filtration for a reef tank, you will be advised to spend more money and get something that works really well.
I'm working on a few cheap mods for mine, but I don't have any good news as of yet.

If your going with a seaclone, go with the 150. The seaclones are not the best skimmers, but they are $75. If your willing to spend more, an aqua C remora would work much better. And they get much better then that.
Wait...A 125g QT tank?

Definitely do NOT skimp out on the skimmer, whatever u do. That would be the worst thing for u to do with a fish only tank, and dont just get it just it is the cheapest thing out there. U need to setup like a sump, or wet dry. Then u can put a nice sized, in-sump skimmer in it and get rid of wastes before it turns into ammonia and kills all of yer fish. A skimmer is one thing that u truely should not go cheap on. If u wanna go cheap, then get the jebo skimmer. It is kinda crap, but i have one and it is amazing. It removes crud like nothing else, TONS of thick foam, and the skum just lines the thing. A centimeter thck, and it is cheap, perfect for u. I got mine for $30 w/ shipping, and it has never failed. U can also hang it on the side, but yer better off putting it into the a sump. Do a search on ---- for "protein Skimmer Jebo", and ull find one. Best $30 i ever spent. ANd yes, it is working great on my 120, which has a nicely sized bioload.
