Hi, thinking of this skimmer for my 100. Is it any good? I see good and bad reviews

I had no lroble.s with mine when I had one. Only upgraded when the tank got bigger

Love mine. It pulls good, but i dont have alot in my tank in the moment so there isnt much to pull. 72 gallon.

Thanks...is it consistent or constant adjustments?

I have one running on a 150 for a year and a half. It is a little finicky, but overall, does well. I was out of the hobby for a long time, so don't have much to compare it with.

I like mine, but I have had one issue lately. I banished a couple of hermits to the sump for harassing my conch snails, and since then they have a nasty habit of getting caught in the intake down at the bottom of the skimmer, effectively shutting off the skimmer. It's possible that I'm missing some kind of intake guard, but these hermits are the perfect size to plug the intake.

Running mine on a 180 runs pretty solid takes a little dialing in and adjusting but I think most do.

I have a curve 5 on my 75G coral QT tank and a curve 7 on main display.
great skimmers for the price.

I have one on my 115g system. Works really well. It was a bit of a pain to get dialled in but a simple valve on the intake (to really reduce incoming air) solved that problem.
