Question about seaclone skimmer?

[tailgate1979]

I have a seaclone skimmer on my 75gal and my 30gal tanks. I have been having problems with trying to adjust them to for them to work and do what they are post to do. No matter how much or how many times I adjust I can't get nothing in the catch cups. I have cleaned them. What do yall think about seaclone skimmers. I think there junk or I just dont know what im doing, which is most likely the problem.

They are junk - a new hobbyists mistake. Sorry to hear you purchased them, most people can find them in junkyards for free.

For your 75, if you need a really good hang on back skimmer, try an Octopus 75 HOB. Octopus makes really good quality skimmers that last and pull out a good amount of skimmate.
For your 30g tanks, try either a tunze nano - which is a small profile in-tank skimmer or a Remora....

I would like to find one for my 75gal, one that goes in the sump. What would be a good one and how much money would I be looking at?

I still like octopus brand, swc, bubble magus, etc for in-sump skimmers. Also, I have used an sc65 skimmer with success with half the cost of those others. They make an sc150cone skimmer that has a small footprint and packs a punch.
