Coralife Super skimmer 220?

[gqlmao]

Hey, I'm looking a for a relatively cheap skimmer for my tank, its around 100 gallons total water and has a medium bioload. I was looking into the coralife 220 and found it very reasonable for pricing. I was wondering to hear some feed back from fellow canreefers of course ! How does it fair compared to the more expensive brands like Euroreef, deltecs? Suggestions on other skimmers would be nice too, thanks.

It fairs like a cheap piece of crap. They are really good at flooding floors too. Seriously, fork out the money for a EuroReef, you'll thank me later. Find a used one if needed.

Really? where could i get my hands on euroreefs besieds buying them online? Also how wide are they? I'm very limited in space as my sump is only 20 gallons.

I have a coralife 220 on a 75g with a 33g sump...works fine for me. Sorry about your floors Myka.

Hey fencer, how much skimmate does the skimmer produce? and can anyone tell me where to get a euroreef in Calgary if there is by any chance?

They "work fine" for some people, but those people are usually people who haven't owned anything better. Once you've used a high quality skimmer you never go back. The SS didn't flood my floor, I've seen enough flooded floors from them to know better than to buy one. But thanks anyway!

I second the euroreef. They're the only good skimmer without spending like a grand for a 200 gallonish tank. The bubbleking would be the king though .

It seems everyone loves their euro reefs, I may have to drop by golds to see if they have a decent sized one in stock thanks!
