Thanks for that
Only concern I would have is the Eheim is 31watts and the ES is supposed to be only 12watts

Ya that makes sense.
If you really want to know how much power it uses, all you need is a clamp meter and a line splitter. I bought a Fluke 334 and an Extech 480172. You can also make a line splitter with an extension cord by cutting a slit in the cord, but I don't know if you'll get a true reading that way. Really handy if you want to know how much power you're using. My clamp meter is overkill for the price. Any cheap one will do ya. All you do is multiply the reading; Amps X Voltage. Test your house's voltage where the unit is plugged in to get a true usage calculation. Last edited by gregzz4; 11-29-2011 at 01:57 AM. Reason: added info

I have the same tank size as yours,just wondering if sk181 is a little bit oversized? You don't worry about stripped the water too much for a Sps tank?
Anyway I ordered one already,cos my cabinet is only 22" inches tall,sk181 is the perfect size skimmer for me,just a little bit concerned about over skimed.

Having the extra skimming power lets me feed the the fish more often, and broadcast feed corals at night.

I replaced the stock impeller today in my SK181 with the upgraded one to stop the re-start issues
So far I'm happy with it Only issue I have is that I can no longer rid myself of the pump humming noise by unplugging and replugging the pump until it goes away I'm going to mess around with the pump some more to see if I can make it quieter
