Protein skimmers

[rabid frog]

I know this has probalby been a long disputed problem but i am starting to worry wether or not I should purchase a new skimmer. I now have a sea clone but I am hearing alot of negative stuff about them if not a sea clone what is the suggested skimmer. I am lookin at havin a bout 200 bucks to spend on one. Why so many negative opinions about the sea clone.

I dont want a hang on filter right now i have my seaclone runnin out of my sump and looking for a better quality sump skimmer

Anthem, are you talking about the Berlin from Red Sea or the Prizm? Because the Berlin has a way higher flow rate. The Prizm is the little cheapo skimmer with no flow rate.

i have got the berlin, I love it, I had a prizm before and I did not like it one bit, it was way to noisy.

Anthem,
The Berlin has a RIO 2100 pump that pumps 692 GPH. Where do you get that it only has a flow of 110 GPH? I have had this skimmer in the past and it was a great skimmer.
rabid frog,
I would suggest looking at <a href="http://www.myreefcreations.com/skimmers.html" target="_blank">http://www.myreefcreations.com/skimmers.html</a>

Both of these are great skimmers. I think that companies make better in-sump skimmers than hang-ons. I don't know why, but they do.

I definetly would recommend the Euro-reef, its probably the best skimmer out there, some of my friends have one and it works great!!!
