Skimmin...

[fencer]

Depends if you are getting "wet" or "dry" skim

So i can be pretty confident that if i put a skimmer on a 80 g tank for the first time after it had been running for 3-4 months and i only get about 2 oz of medium brown water stuff in 4 days that the skimmer really is the garbage i thought it was? (Seaclone 100)

Yes, the seaclone is the garbage you thought it was. I hate to slam any particular products, but this one is special. Especially on a 80g tank. It might work ok on a 10g, maybe.

imo seaclones are crap.

but as i remember, you have size issues dont you with your sump?
if you get some measurements, we can probably find something good that will work for you.

this skimmate is about 7-10 days, and i run it "wet" side

[Telford]

Yes i do have a size issue (With my filter box that is!). I only have and 8"x8" spot to put a skimmer and my return pump...

Is the Coralife Skimmer crap as well? I have a 44gal tank.

[mseepman]

Yes, usually the Coralife is considered at the lower end of quality. I believe much of the body is plastic and not acrylic.
