    I am realizing this now. May I ask what kind you are going to get. I want a new one.

    Get an AquaC Remora. It's the best HOB skimmer you can get (in my opinion). Mine arrives next Tuesday, then the Seaclone may go bye bye. Or I may use it to replace the Skilter 250's skimmer on my 20 gallon as I think it's better than the one in the Skilter.

    If you wanted to use the seaclone skimmer you could modify it to work better.
    My buddy has one and is too cheap to buy a reall skimmer so he modified his and hasnt had any problems since.

    Just some food for thought.
    what all it involves, not really sure, i could ask him for the site that he got the info from if your interested. :-/

    If you can score one used, then do it. I purchased mine for $90 used versus $165 new. Try Ebay or your local Craig's list.

    It's a good skimmer too, but I think the AquaC is worth the extra money. The Coralife will be a ton better than the Seacrap, errrrr....... I mean Seaclone.
