    Hi there,
    What is your input on the Coralife Super Skimmer (65g)? Any good? It will be used on a 55g Reef. Thank you. :)

    I havent had an issue with my 65G model. Never overflowed, Broke in within 48 hours... I currently run a 125G model on my 90g, and a 220g Model on my 120. Love them to death. The 220g Overflowed but I accidently moved the drain pipe a little weird and it created some issue, Fixed that real quick,

    I have mine running for my 55 gal. and it pulls a decent amount. If in a sump, the water level affects it so you have to find the sweet spot on the level. It will sometimes over produce and "go crazy" if some additives are introduced to the aquarium. Also, some of the ploy filters will make it act up but it eventually settles down.

    I used the 125 on my 55g and it worked well. Lots of people say very negetive things about them, but for those on a tight budget they work good once they are broke in.
