Coralife Needle Wheel Skimmer
Hello gang,after reading many post on skimmers on what is better and prices and thinking about a DIY skimmer i came up with a coralife needle wheel skimmer.I needed a hot skimmer for my 20 gallon so far its been my best pick.Now the power head on this thing is big rio 1100 with was really to big for my liking but after hiding it behind the rock work it looks better lol. Its been about day in running and after getting 2 cups of back pressure finally got working good and giving me some pretty good brown guck.I would like to thank everyone in trt for all good info on skimmers  For anyone looking for a good skimmer i would buy Coralife Needle Wheel Skimmer its cheap (80 bucks) and works good.

Can someone check out this link and tell me if these are the coralife skimmers that you guys have. Some people here in Oz are saying they are the same skimmers just rebranded, however i am sceptical. I am interseted in getting one if they are the same.
Thanks |
