both work really well but the aqua c takes up less in tank area and dumps less micro bubbles than the coralife.
oh yea - don't waste your $ on one with the drain hose adapter either - almost more of a pain to keep emptying the remote container that the drain hose has to go to.

save your money and buy a real skimmer instead of the fission - assembly is a bit scarry and very brittle plastic. output weak and trying to keep the water level correct is very hard.
buy a good one and don't waste your money with a " wanna a be skimmer " .
on a small tank like a 20 - 40 gallon i would suggest a AquaC Remora - hang on . for the money their well worth it.
larger tank - i'm impressed with the CoraLife Super Skimmers !!!
skimming to me is the most important filtration in a marine aquarium. don't risk their lives going cheap !!!
