Has anyone ever tried this skimmer??

I have never ran a BM skimmer so I can't say but they seem to get decent reviews. but if you said you can wait to save up I deff would also. IMO those 3 skimmers are lower quality. for now you should be able to get by with water changes with your small fish load.

out of those 3 I would go with the bubble magus, the seaclone and coralife skimmers suck IMO

+1 the last two are total junk. Bubble magus makes skimmers bigger than you for tank well over 1000g, they know what they are doing

I'm getting desperate cause I've done a water change and I see no change in my water quality. I think I'm just going to charge it and buy the bubble mag. Thanks guys for all the input. I'll let you know how it works out.

Good luck. And yes, please review it. I am in the market for a new skimmer as well. $$$$ is always an issue.

What are you using for flow? Also, you can prob find sea clowns on cl for $25

Flow as in powerheads? Right now, I've got 3 powerheads. 2 Hydor 1150s and 1 little generic one to disturb the water.

I'd go bubble magus I have a nac5.5 and curve 7 and they pull a lot of nasty smelly black sludge and I run a ULNS sps tank and mixed reef

If you want to save up a little longer just find a cheap used mechanical filter for like 10bux and put in a filter cartridge. I have seen up to 40g tanks run successfully for years with nothing but a mech filter and a HUGE ball of Chaeto.

Whileyour setup is bigger at least a mech filter will pull out partiuclates and the carbon can help clean things up. Heck you might be able to find a local reefer who would let you borrow one, check with your local reef groups.
