So i've read reviews on protein skimmers, and know that seaclone = horrible, but I still have a ? about them.

I know someone selling theirs for 30 bucks (and they said it works perfectly fine), and it's rated up to 150-gallons he said.

Now, my SW tank i'm in-process of setting up (slowly, but surely) is going to be at most 60-gallons due to space constraints (I'm looking at possibly a 40 or 50 gallon).

Even though the seaclone skimmers suck, if I were to buy his, would the fact that it's rated for 150 gallons make it worth it for my much smaller tank? Or should I still stick with a better kind?

Thanks everyone!!

don't skimp on the skimmer...this is one of the most important pieces of equipment in your tank. the more the better in terms of gph...just my

I've no experience to back davbrown but i believe it to very true. I will be spending quite a lot on my skimmer with the hope of less muck buildup and better water quality.

i have a protien skimmer that is to large for my tank it works very good although i have a lot of micro bubbles and i have a feeling its due to that

Check out Super Skimmer. I got one from LFS for 100$. But they sell them online. My model is rated for 65gal and its on a 75gal tank. Doing a nice job, but there is a lot of micro bubbles on that side of the tank. I will fix it with an article I found online...
