I had a corallife 220 and absolutely hated it. It pulled very little out of the water and it overflowed often. Went to an RPS 2000 Octopus which was an upgrade but it never really skimmed like I wanted. I now have a Bubble King 180 and it is an excellent skimmer and a major upgrade.

I ran a BK mini-180 before I upgraded to the BK SM300 for the big tank....the mini 180 would be a good fit and it has a small footprint....not sure if it would be small enough for you tho?.......5+ years at a LFS, so Ive fiddled with quite a few skimmers.....does the BK skim that much better than the less expensive models?...... not really.....I can say that they are built better so they should outlast most other skimmers and they are whisper quiet.....Ive never personally handled a Deltec but from what Ive heard from customers, you cant really go wrong with one of them either

We ve met before and will again soon fishy! the torch colony I bought from you is not doing so good 2 heads died sadly enough. Im not fully blaming the skimmer but maybe there is a bit to many docs? do you have bubble blasters?
