I got what I can afford...anyways there are much better skimmers out there. To answer your question. I tend to set my skimmer to produce dry skim. So there isn't a lot of volume. I find because I use ozone I don't get a lot of skim anyways.

i have the 220 on one of my tanks as well.
does ok but like most skimmers, have to keep it clean for it to work well. as far as I am concerned, does a good job for the money. Neal

I found a super skimmer 120 used it cost 40 bucks!
From an American on reefcentral it cost 30 to ship.. I dont hava a full bioload yet but it has been making thick dark simmate and my nutrients are zero no flooding b/c It has anoverlofw drain at the top of the collection cup If you can afford the better skimmer do it but if the new project is breaking the bank you can go for a long time with a super skimmer untill you start filling your tank with SPS.

yeah I had an RS135 on my 120g way back when and it skimmed like mad. They work best if your sump has a skimmer baffle that keeps the water level constant for the skimmer or with an auto top off. You'll skim about 3x as much than if the water level fluctuates from evaporation.
Which places did you check for the RS135?

Umm i checked out, Elites, Wais, Oceans and Golds of course, but no one had it, the next thing they had was the 180 which was wayyy too big for my little sump, yea the skimmer is pulling some nasty green tea water out right now. I believe its still in the breaking in stage, it will eventually get better as time progresses... atleast thats what I hope
