[senji]

after searching and researching and talking with all kinds of people i ended up ordering my sump and skimmer. i know some peeps wanted to build it but there to busy. and im kinda on a crunch. so what i ordered for my 90g. a proflex 3 sump and a coralife 125 skimmer. just couldn't wait any longer. but thank for ever1s input and help. does anybody own either 1 of these items let me know how they perform for u.
?

Hate to say it, but the Coralife skimmers are notoriously poor performers. You could probably find a better used skimmer for your $$.

SWC XTREME 120 Cone Protein Skimmer - SWC 120

 

[1guydude]

okay than....

 

[senji]

i have to keep footprint small as the sump equip compartment is 8.5 x 13 and have to put return pump and reactor pump in ther aswell

 

[mfinn]

Don't think I've ever heard of bad reviews for the SWC 120 cone

 

[eww]

I don't know about the SWC120 cone personally but I can say the SWC Mini S Cone we had and the Extreme 250 we are running now work well. I am with Martin... haven't heard any bad reviews of any of the SWC skimmers. Maybe PM Skimmy and see what he recommends for the best bang for your buck with your available footprint.
