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
