SeaClone to be returned
OK, you guys have convinced me to return the SeaClone skimmer before I even got it out of the box. What do you think I should exchange it for? I am looking at a Red Sea Prizm from Foster/Smith for about $90.00 or a Coralife Needle Wheel for about $75.00. Thanks for your help,
Bob

Out of those 2 mentioned the Coralife would be the best route. I've heard good things about them.

Coralife needle wheel will be the better of the two.

Coralife is FAR, and I mean FAR!!! better then the prizm!!! If you have a sump I would try to get away from the HOB skimmers, you will have many more options.

I have used both. I like the Coralife better but I saved up and bought a Euroreef and could not be happier.

Btw, good move on returning the SeaClone, it is on the same level as the prizm IMHO.
Coralife is in a whole diffrent class, it is a needlewheel and will do quite a bit better. I think ASM is better than Coralife though.
How big is your tank?

Ya, I have heard more good things about the ASM then the Coralife, it seems that the ASM is allot more "plug and play" too.
