Let me start out by saying I bought this 65 gallon model as a replacement for a two week-old SeaClone 100, and am I glad! I found this in the local Petco for $199 and looked it up on thier website, where they wanted $119 + Tax with free shipping, the store refused to match thier own website price. So I was planning to buy it from the website, but then I said "Self, you're an Amazon Prime member, lets check the price there!", so I did. So with a shipping upgrade of $3.99, in less than 24 hours the box was at my front door; total cost: $115.19, enough said!
OPERATION: Now for the product, so after setting this up (like all the others say, throw out the directions, they are useless) I could not get it to work properly (pumped water but no bubbles), after disassembling checking everything, and reassembling, it still would not produce bubbles; I could have saved a hour plus by simply blowing in the air tube and kick-starting the venturi action (doh!), so try this first! Within minutes this unit produced more foam and removed more protein than the SeaClone 100 did in two weeks; and 24 hours later the micro-bubble pattern in the unit is starting to take shape, reducing the amount of bubbles pumped into the tank. I hope that when it breaks in the bubbles in the tank cease completely, so I will update this in a few more days. It wasn't to difficult to balance the flow, I set the output valve to 50% then adjusted the input valve, located near the pump, until the water and micro-bubble concentration point was halfway up the cup port; this allows me to use the ouput adjustment to set the levels for either the "Dry Skim" or "Wet Skim" methods as described in the directions (the only useful part of the manual).Read more ›

So i figured Coralife usually makes great products and I needed a skimmer for a 40g breeder saltwater tank I had just set up. Cone skimmers on average do a better job than box skimmers do but since the breeder tank isn't drilled I needed a HOB. Unfortunately I just went off review on Amazon about this particular skimmer and that cost me. Basically, it sets up quick and seems like a quality product but here is the issue.
1) the pump is like many in sump skimmers and requires to be in the water, Major issue is it will effect water temperature in the display.
2) directions for set up are horrid
3) they tell you to make sure the pump is 8 inches under the water level ( don't do this or you will never get it to work the pump is not strong enough to pull air into the air tube to produce bubbles (whole purpose of a skimmer and how it works)
4) the adjustment valves are finicky.
5) if you want this as a HOB skimmer be prepared to make many DIY modifications. tubing they give you is either too long or too short.
6) the largest issue as a HOB is that this is a pain to clean. it has a drain plug and they provide you with about 10 inches of airline tubing to drain it. Most tanks are much taller than that which makes setting up a bucket to catch the skimmate a pain. your better off turning it off and unscrewing the collection cup.
7) every time you turn it off it starts up again with issues causing you to spend hours of fiddling with adjustments.
I finally got it set to what I thought would be correct settings. woke up at 3 in the morning to the sound of running water to find my skimmer overflowing.
I finally found a customer service number to call and they basically told me nothing. Ended up returning this and buying a reef octo bh-1000. only had one issue with the octo since and it was completely user error. go with the reef octo
