I get lots of micro bubbles, but then again I only run the skimmer part time. I'm actually thinking of getting something different as I am using this skimer as a HOB on my 37 cube and it akes up alot of space. I think they would be great in a sump but I kind of regret getting one for a hob application.

Thanks everyone for the info, the help is great. My LFS says that you don’t have to skim so I was lost for a little while.

Greetings to the forum.

I have the Coralife Super Skimmer 220 (HOB) and it does a great job so far. I just installed it last week. I also did away with the bubble defuser and placed a sponge in its place. No micro bubbles at all. I may try using it with nothing at all connected around the output pipe (like a member here suggested) and see what happens.

Cheers.

Hi,

I have got the 3004 about a month ago. It works quite well but I need to readjust it when I blow detrius around (it just goes crazy). Cleaning is okay....similar in difficulty as to a Remora Pro. Good value but I am concerned about the availability of parts (mainly impelors and pumps) for the skimmer. Mine runs in sump.

It replaced an aging Remora Pro after my Mag 7 died.
