    I have a ETSS Sump Buddy 40 thats rated up to 250 gallons. It has been reliable, efficient, durable, etc... There are two minor things I don't like, the only adjustment is the waste gate which is very "touchy" and it HAS to be in a constant water level to operate normally, in other words without over skimming and running your sump dry.

    I have the Red Sea C-Skim 1200. STAY away from it. I have not been able to keep it going for more than a month since I got it Feb 09. Customer service is non existant! The pump is a bad design and swells inside and stops working. 400 buck thrown out the door.

    Yet I bought a Coralife 125 for a backup, and have it running since May 09, and NEVER had a problem. Although its too small for my 155, but at least its something.

    I am currently looking at the Bubble Magus right now.
