I have been using lifereef skimmers for years the build quality is good.If you are looking at these see if you can pick one up used and try to get one that can be set up as a recirculating you won't be sorry these have mazzi veturi's on them and let alot of air pass.I would use a pump like an ehiem1262 or an iwaki 30rlt then you would feed the skimmer counter current.I have set this skimmer up on a store display set up this way..good luck.
One thing about the Little Giant 3MDQX-SC. It is VERY loud. I have had three of the things (keep burning them out because of my high alk) and they were all loud. When I shut off the skimmer I can't believe how quiet the tank is.
I bought a used Lifereef skimmer a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier with it. It's solid, and it pulls an incredible amount of gunk outta the tank. It definitely outskims my old ER CS6-1. I'm looking at getting another Lifereef.
