bak-pak 2 vs. Coralife super skimmer

looking for a skimmer, debating between the two. I have a 55 aggressive now but soon changing it to an invert. Any suggestions or experience with the two skimmers?

garbage x2 look into the octopus for a cheap HOB skimmer that will actually work. i've done all the mods to the BP 2 and it still stinks, i just use it on my QT tank. never heard anything good on coralife, heard they are hard to dial in, and flood.

between the 2 if the bakpak has a mj1200 I would take tyhe mj1200 over the SS evyday of the week. Unfortunatly I wouldnt use a bak-pak on anything over a 35gallon.

You going to need something with a little more horsepower. Check the e-shop hob skimmers they have been getting really good reviews. If money is no object I think there is a ATB mini cone hob skimmer.
