Sea Clone Skimmer Warning
As time goes by you may notice some hair type algae growing in the outlet of your skimmer...Keep this cleaned out as i went away for a few days and the build up plugged the outlet of this skimmer and it leaked 5 gallons of water on the floor...What a mess...Any newbe's looking to purchase a skimmer theses are junk.They always need adjusting and don't do a good job...Im upgrading to a Aqua C Remora myself..

It's not really about the brand, it's why you should heed the advice to frequently disassemble and clean your skimmer. I read another post from someone with an Aqua C that had a flood happen after cleaning the impelller the first time after a long period of use.

I had a sealone when I started out. My floor flooded twice in the first month, and to he** with it. I bought an Aqua C Remora Pro with Mag 3 about 8 months ago, and am very happy with that choice.

I love my Seaclone. I have had it two years, never had any problems with it.
