Also your experience of make and does it work good or not!
Also comments!

I use a coralife 220 and its worth the money. My nano gets a water change monthly.

[kennyman]

never. I think it would remove allot of the necessary organics that many of my inverts feed on.

coralife skimmer 220/seaclone/fission all got minor issues but some skimming is always better than no skimming for corals so i am happy, i think.

Acrylic city, Coral life running 24/7. I see no reason to ever shut off my skimmer...

I fine the coral life works really well, as long as it doesnt stop producing the bubbles. A small airpump really helps solve this problem.

My acrylic city skimmer is working ok, but I think I am due to change the venturi as its just not skimmering like it used to.

The 90 has a Prizm pro, the 65 hex has no skimmer neither does the nano. The skimmerless tanks have several hot filters and the hex has been running like this for 8 mths with no issues.
I have a Jebo, a seaclown, and a Prizm pro. The seaclone and Jebo are good for smaller tanks under 50 gallons and used to use them with no issues.

Seeclone150 on 90G NOT 24/7, just after feeding my sun polyps, anemones, etc
All other time assume the sump full of macro helps more...

50" LifeReef with 1" Mazzei Venturi Injector

The LifeReef produces about 3-4 liters of skimmate every 5-7 days. I wouldnt run my tank or any tank without some way of reducing DOC's.
