I would try to return it and go for something else. Vertex, Euro-Reef, Deltec, ASM are all much better skimmers. I have seen coralife's in action and they are definitely NOT high-end skimmers. Big Al's in Calgary doesn't really have quality equipment and I would assume the one in Edmonton is similar. If you are on a budget look for a used one on here as you will be much happier with a decent used one than a coralife, which you would probably end up upgrading soon anyway. HTH

Somebody at Big Als has a very different outlook as to what a higher end skimmer would be. Take it back and check out some of the skimmers Xtreme listed. Or check here to see if anyone has a good used skimmer for sale.

I agree with both the last two posters. Those Super Skimmers are anything but super! They also have a nasty tendency to flood your floor. I agree with the list Xtreme put out, except for the Vertex which my vote is still out. I might buy one to check it out for myself though. HAHA.
