A lot of people might not agree with me but I say .... I LOVE SEACLONE!!!!
I never have problems with them and I will always use them! I have used way more expensive skimmers and I have to say that seclone has definatelly done the trick and it's easy to use! I would say user friendly.
Hope this helps.

I have several Seaclone skimmers and have had them for 6+ years and they work great with no problems at all . As for them to quit skimming is B.S. With proper maintainance it works great .
jrthomas40 , in your opinion how is it they stop skimming ? If the pump still works , you clean it once and a while , it will work properly .
Also , this " Seaclone is crap thing " is a very common opinion on this site and this site only . Sure a lot of it is from word of mouth and not experience .

A SeaClone might not be my 1st choice, but has been around awhile with a lot of happy users.There's nothing wrong with trying to stay within your budget. There is a major online retailer (PM me if you want the name) who has this skimmer on sale ($68 & $80) and offers an iron clad money back guarantee. Try it; if you don't like it, return it.

i am using coalife now and it is ok but really hard to fine tune to get a good skim

This is a very common thing why people say they are junk . One , you need to clean it once and a while . And second the load on the system depends on how much you get in the collection cup . Naturally at first it is going to suck all the crap out fast for the first few weeks and then ease off as there isn`t as much to skim out .Same thing happens with my Oceanic skimmers also .You shouldn`t have to keep adjusting the skimmers . On my Coralife skimmers I set the level I like and have never touched them .

Been running Sea Clone in an SPS dominated reef for years now. Keep it clean and calibrated and you'll enjoy a full cup of skimmate every 3 days

I can run my Aqua-C for months and months without ever having to adjust it, clean or maintain it...all I have to do is clean out the collection cup every 4 days or soo. Actually, I haven't had to adjust in well over a year because it is a qaulity product that doesn't need to be tuned in to work.
If you have to mod a skimmer, constantly maintain and tune it in to work properly it most likely isn't a good choice. There is a reason why soooo many people have a such a poor opinion towards the Seaclone skimmer and in many cases this poor view is totally justified. If you want additional info look up skimmers on wetwebmedia dot com.

I think the Seaclone is a great skimmer. It will work fine for a couple months and then after you get tired of messing around trying to get it to work consistantly it can easily be converted into a phosban reactor. Then you can finally get a decient skimmer and have a phosban reactor also. I have a Seaclon 100 phosban reactor and a 150 on the shelf not being used if you want to bypass the purchase of a new overpriced Seaclone phosban reactor and use your money for a decient skimmer instead.
