Skimmer
| Installation and Operation |
It was very easy to install but it doesn't work nearly as well as other hob skimmer that you can buy for around the same price
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
my expectations were set alot higher when i bought it but it didn't live up to me expectations at all so a few weeks after buying i had to go and buy another skimmer that would get the job done right
|
| Value for money |
I personally don't think that the skimmer is worth what i payed
|
| Liked about it |
I liked that it was cheap and easy to install
|
| Didn't like |
I didn't like how hard it is to get it to even start to do what it supposed to do

I was expecting more
| Installation and Operation |
It was easy to install, and the instructions are kind of helpful. it is difficult to keep right, it has an air intake that you have to fix once a week if not more. other than cleaning, none.

Great Start, Slow Finish
| General |
I would not buy this product again. I only deal with hang on back skimmers and this was my second. The products is great at first but the tails off. The seal at the top failed and it was harder to adjust as time went on. |
| Liked about it |
This product was very good for the first couple of months (after adjusted).
|
| Didn't like |
The initial setup was hard to get the bubbles adjusted right. Had multiple experiences with it flooding. Also had a problem with bubbles in the tank.
The lifespan of this product was about 1.5 years and all product stopped, even with regular cleaning.

Starter skimmer
| General |
You can make this skimmer work but you have to mod it. |

Doesn't skim what is needed. You have to adjust it to get anything out of it

Don't waste your money
| General |
These skimmers do not produce much skimmate at all. They leak very easily and are WAY WAY overrated. Save your money and buy a decent skimmer instead of doing like I did. I have "inherited" several of these from tanks that I bought and people do not like them. You have to adjust them all the time and salt builds up in the air inlet tube quite often. |
| Liked about it |
It was easy to install, and get up and running
|
| Didn't like |
It was leaky and put a ton of bubbles back into the tank

Don't even bother
| General |
This skimmer doesnt pull out much, the parts are known to fail or break very easily when cleaning. Youre better off getting a better skimmer used for around the same price, or just saving up for a better one. Don't bother with this skimmer. |

A poor design 10 years ago unchanged
| General |
It was my first skimmer and it did pull out some gunk. Having paid a bit more for another skimmer that pulls probably 6x more per week with the same bioload, I can say that it is poor compared to most skimmers. I would pass on this one at any more than half of retail. |
| Liked about it |
It was inexpensive and easy to hook up.
|
| Didn't like |
It is very touchy. It has an air inlet adjustment that has a very narrow sweet spot between not skimming at all and dumping bubbles. It produces very little skimmate.

Better than nothing.... but not much
| General |
Like i said, if you can get it for about $15 bucks or for free, its worth it... but i wouldn't suggest paying regular price for it.
It can be modified in a number of ways, there are a few posts on TRT with ideas and instructions, so if you like a challenge, you could tinker with it to make it better.
I had mine in a 30 gallon tank, so skimming was optional at that size, so whatever it pulled out was a bonus. I have bought another skimmer to replace it, but i will clean the Seaclone out and tuck it away as a backup if i ever need it. |
| Liked about it |
I got it brand new for way less than half the regular price... so it was not a bad deal for me.
It is powered by a MaxiJet pump.
I have paid more money for worse skimmers.
|
| Didn't like |
It *does* work, but it needs to be adjusted daily- sometimes hourly, it spills out a lot of bubbles into the display tank and it really isn't all that efficient. It takes a week or two to 'break in', then it peaks, and the peak is not grand.
