Skimz SM202 Trial/Review\Closing Comments

[Myka]

Thanks for the review! I'm looking for a new skimmer for my reef, and have been checking out the Skimz as a possible candidate. I haven't heard much about the reliability of the pumps...you heard much?

Manufacturer ratings are practically useless. The best way I have found to compare skimmers is by pump gph and air intake lph. I also like to compare pump reliability, pump replacement costs (and parts), and watts.
