Try a Reef Octopus Skimmer that is well worth the money no matter which model you choose, They have 3 year warranty's on the pumps and perform as well as much higher priced skimmers in the same class and rating. I know this from having owned just about all of the ones out there and some that are no longer around. As far as being negative it's a fact that needed to be stated so people do not waste their money by unrealistic claims from coralife.
In the case mentioned he has stated that for a small tank this will do and i agree with him, But some people just may believe these claims they are good for up to 300 gals. JMHO
