 I'd say the Coralife skimmer is okay if you can get one cheap.  I bought a used one (essentially free as it was a package deal with a light fixture) and it isn't bad.  It does skim a nasty dark green stuff out of my water.  It runs well as long as you have a constant water level and clean it every 3 to 6 months.  But I wouldn't buy one brand new.  As others said you can get better skimmers in the same price range. |
