Coralife Super Skimmer 125

So I think Im gonna go with the Coralife Super Skimmer that a fellow 3reef Member has offered;D

Before anything I buy though I like to know everything about it. Ive read reviews on line, And like alota things it has equal positive and negative reviews.

I would like to know if anyone else on here has that skimmer?
Is there anything I should know before getting it?
Any helpful hints would be nice;D
Thankss!

 

Does it help that I have the 220g Model? lol ?

 

I have the smaller model, and I actually really like it.. Its picky until you get used to it.. So be prepared to tinker with it about 10 min a day for 2 weeks until you get the hang of it.. If set incorrectly, it wont let you know for a few minutes either meaning that you wont skim anything, or it will just be like water..

 

arnt they the exact same thing? Just yours can handle more?

 

Pretty much, It take about a week or two to break it in, the dials pretty easy to get used to. And boy does it pull skim!

 

ive got the one youre thinkin of katie. ive been very happy with it. adjusts easy, ive found the maintenance of it on the low side , and as RG said, pulls some good skimate out.

 

I've got the 120 on a 58g oceanic, nothing but great things for the first year and nothing but a headache for the 2nd, getting ready to take it to the rifle range and blast it with the 12ga and put an ASM G1 in it's place

 

anything specific that i\we should prepare ourselves for? lol

 

For its price Ill just replace it/repair LOL. To me it was one of the inexpensive skimmers I could find, Works well so far

 

The only thing I didn't like about my 125 was the pump hangs by flex tubing. Other than that they work great.
