    Going with one of these two I beleiev, price point is a must. FOWLR 55 hex.
    They are about the same price and the local shop has them, so this Friday...
    I have heard good and bad about both.
    I actually assuem they are about the same as per quality, ease of use, and actual skimming ability! Thanks

    I love both of my Seaclone HOB skimmers, 100 and 150 models.

    I had the SeaClone for a while. With mine, I found that I had to keep adjusting the air valve to get the right size bubbles. What a big pain in the back side. I've never tried the ProClear, so I can't help you there.

    Well, I have a Red Sea Berlin Classic skimmer, and that does not get the great reviews either, BUT IT WORKS FOR ME!!! AND I LIKE IT!!! Craig's skimmers work for him and I have seen pics of his skimmer at work! He has always given me good advice here and I would be confident in his opinions!

    Well I went ahead and ordered...a Won Clean up 75! I read soem good things one here about them. Cost effective as well. LAter on if we get the bigger tank, I will get a Berlin or Remora, but that's soem tiem form now! I will let everyoen know how it works out for me after its been up and running. Gees, back when I used to be in it heacvy I only had a wood airblock driven one,a rgh. Venturis were just becoming popular then.
