Is this a good or bad skimmer?

[Packersfan21]

Hi everyone, right now for 90 gallon i'm using a Pro Clear Aquatics Systems skimmer that is rated for 150 gallons. I've never heard of anyone else that used this skimmer so i'm not really sure if this is a good skimmer to use or not. I'll be getting a 75 FOWLR tank pretty soon so if this skimmer isn't good for the 90 should I use it for the 75?

Never really heard of them. The skimmer looks kind of crappy. Old school venturi intake instead of a needle wheel. Id go for an equally priced octopus or ASM

Yea I didn't think it was very good. I've heard that a lot of people use the octupus ones so I might get one in the future. So how many rated gallons should I get one for? Could I use the one I have now for the 75 FOWLR, or should I just sell it and get a different one for the 75?

I would think it would be fine for a lightly stocked 75 gal

It might turn out to be a good skimmer. It's a true venturi. I have one that is true and works very good and produces dark skimmate. I would give it a chance.

I had a life reef that ran on venturi and it was great. Dark thick foam. Miss that skimmer.

I have had the skimmer for a while now and the collection cup fills up reallt fast. I was wondering if this because it's doing a really good job or if it's overworking.
