Reviews for Coralife Super Skimmer?

ReefLife1680 · 03/15/2006, 12:11 AM

Thinking of getting the 65G model for my 30G tank and using in the hang on capacity.

Experiences with this skimmer before I take the dive?

I'm running mine on a 40 gallon w/ a 15 sump and it works well. No need for constant adjustments and I'm pulling some good skimmate.

NaughtyCashew .. you're running the 65G cap. model? Sounds great! Any mods done to it? ANY complaints?

If you can do a search there are TONS of people using the CSS skimmer. Supposedly it works really well

It is my first skimmer, so I have nothing to compare it to. Mine had a break-in period of about a week and now it works great. I wish it pulled even more skimmate, but I think once I start a Kalk drip that should help things along.

I have a 220 on a system with about 150 gallons. Mile fills its collection cup with a fairly dry skim every 2 weeks.
