There is nothing wrong with the way Coralife skimmers skim they just are finicky. I have a SS220 on my clown system and it skims well but its a pain to keep adjusting... My deltec on my main system never needs to be touched. Just empty / clean. But its also 4x the cost.

you're the clown fish breeder! I know you anyways, I am not here to advertise any company or arm wrestle with anybody here , I can care less if they would even not use a skimmer at all!! I am talking from experience I have been in the hobby for 15+ years part of wich is maintenance of tanks, I go through all situations it all comes down to people having the same type of equipment with no success when you used about everything the market has to offer you then you can tell me where I went wrong!!
you said the health in your clown fish tank is a success with the coralife clown fish could be put through sewage water and would still survive! I dare you to take that coralife and stick it with sps,lps reef tank and see the success then!!

I did have the SS220 on my 90g with lots of SPS and no problems. I upgraded tanks so I had it as a spare. I agree you get what you pay for. Not everyone can afford the best though. Those who have cheaper / undersized skimmers just need to water change more to keep the organics down.

this is where people get the wrong perspective about water changes, they dont get rid of nutrients the ratio is too low think about what your saying and please read up on it before you answer me back and I have to write back another novel lol.. skimming is the break down of bubbles"nutrient concentration" by the contact of air and water break down , water changes are to rebuffer your system ph,alkalinity etc... I bet you're one of those guys who with high nitrates and you should have them with clown fish breeding would do major water changes!! big no no it will still be present... Not in anyway trying to argue with you just a friendly conversation but it's too bad and you would agree alot of people are non educated in this hoby and do more harm than anything...
Has for affordability if you can't then you shouldn't be in it, overtime people always upgrade why not wait and save and get reliability... If you undestood mechanics of skimming you wouldnt be cheering for coralife skimmers they are absolute crap, the motor is crap, the tests of water to air contact ratio is below normal. Derek was the biggest clown fish breeder here in toronto and lucky for you he is no longer doing it lol.., you can put a seaclone skimmer to his tanks and would skim a cup of crap within minutes if you understand what I am trying to get at, the amount of chemichals thrown in those tanks makes it very rich nutrient in other words any crap skimmer will skimm.
