So... for what I gather...
you're saying your Seaclone outperforms the 220 Coral life!!!!?
'cause it takes darker skimate...
that is ODD.!!!

[jamest0o0]

If modded right the seaclone can be decent from what I hear

What mods did you do? Do you have a picture?

I had 2 seaclones, and both were terrible... I would be interested to hear what you did to boost the performance.

I would love to see pics too. Some guy near me was ready to throw his out because it had inconsistent performance. I'm going to pick it up and want to see how I can add fishing line to make this thing perform like a $400 skimmer.

i will post the pics tomorow because i have to take the pump out and i dont heve the time but tomorow i will post the pics im happy i took me 8 hours to think what i was going to do and the fish line came to my mind but i will post pics dont worry

[caribian1]

Can you explain a little what we're looking at? I see something tied onto the output, but that's about it.

The mods I have heard of, but never tried were:

- Cutting down the small tube on the inside of the skimmer to increase dwell time.

- Supergluing the collection cup to the skimmer body.

[sk8boarder]

yes i would also like to know the mods. i have the same skimmer and would like to mod it. did u put the fishing line around the collection cup or is that just salt buildup?

[caribian1]

i put the fishin line inside the maxi jet i will post the pic later

i put a sock onto the output but you skims like this and do you like this

[caribian1]

put the finish line on to the impeller thats all but men this think i real good

[jeremy petrie]

whats with the sock on the output does it help with skimming and how did you us the line on the impeller i like the way it looks like its skimming i have a sea clown and want it to skim like that

[Playa-1]

I would trade them both in a get a good skimmer.

[sk8boarder]

what do you recommend as a good skimmer?

[jeremy petrie]

I would to if i wasn't already tapped out from all the equip I've bought to get started and plus it does it's job for now till I can save enough for a better one
