Yeah Have to agree of those 3 I wouldn't have 2 of them. I have a SWC 160 and haven't had any issues in almost 2 years.

Again...unfortunate junk. The Coralife and the Red Sea have been around a long time and that's usually the first mistake reefers make. I would look at the Octo, or maybe look to Bubble Magus.

You can get a swc 120 cone or 150 shipped to your door for 250$ I have a 160 that runs great ...when I was looking around it seemed to be the cheapest good quality skimmer I could find (others may disagree ) lol

I'm using a Tunze 9006 on a 75 gallon and would highly recommend it. Does a great job and is pretty quiet.

Ok so I am now debating between the swc 120 or the euro reef RSI 135. Both I can get the same price or pay an extra 100 for the swc 180? This is an 75 g tank. Thx
