Do you have a sump?

 

[Goodman27]

Then you have lots of options.. the only limitation is your budget.
Check to see what's available in the market place. After you see something which you think you'll like, compare it to retail price, and search some reviews on it.

The Seaclone is probably the most common skimmer that I see for sale and probably the one I hear people complain most about.

Exactly how much space do you have in your sump for a skimmer? The skimmer compartment is usually the same chamber where the overflow drains.

How much would you like to spend on a skimmer?

Not good at all, but there is nothing else in its price range (if purchased new) that is any better. There is worse, though...the Prizm. If that's all you can afford, go for it...its better than nothing...barely. But be prepared to do constant adjustments, and to constantly clear the venturi tube of salt build up. Another consideration- save your $$, and do frequent water changes until you can afford a better skimmer.

Not for nothing but that is one of the best answer i have gotten so far, and that is exactly what I am going to do!

Thanks

Have a good one!

Theres a very viable reason that they have been nicknamed seaclown.

There is nothing else in that price range. Ive had one for 2 years on a 26 gallon with 4 hammers, 1 elagance, two sps, 1 clam, 3 fish and so on... the skimmer is just enough. I upgraded to and eshopps 75 that i got on e-bay just because i thought i needed it, the old skimmer never needed adjust ment and neither does the eshopps. If your one of those guys who wants everything to grow overnite then dose, add supplements, get halides, chillers, get a huge skimmer . If you take your time and learn whats outthere and shop around and REALLY MIGHT UPGRADE one day, get the sea clone now and a biggger one later
