Stay away from the seaclone, the coralife is probably functional. I'd go with the octo ! Have heard good things about it.

seaclone is really not the way to go
coral life I had one worked well and octopus are awesome i'll never look back since I got one :)

When it comes to skimmers there are many choices one can
choose.....however in your case I would go with Octo skimmer....
However, have you thought of other skimmers.....
like a remora pro,deltec HOB,Berlin HOB...just to name a few.
cheers ;)

I bought a vertex 100 from Ray 1 month ago
I'm on a limited budget, It is by far a "WOW" skimmer

65G saltwater
15G "No Tech" cold water planted
2g Beta bowl
18x18x18 cube 3 Dendrobate Auratus
18x18x22 cube 2 Dendrobate Leucomela

Of the 3 listed, OCTO hands down.

Of the 3 listed, two are complete pieces of crap that I wouldn't take for free...

If you want more "general" advise, on skimmers, we'd need some parameters like budget, size of tank, space available, in-sump, hang on back only... etc, etc...
