The tank was over a year old in that issue, but of course they never say if things are still running or if they were taken down/IF they were taken down WHY it was(moving, got bored with something so small, roommate dumping stuff in...

    Hello there. I have a 55 Gallon glass tank overflowing to a wet dry sump. In my sump I have a coralife super skimmer that outlets into my home made refugium. I have ran an overflow back from the refugium to the sump in case the return pump cannot keep up with the skimmer pump but really they...

    I got the Coralife Super Skimmer 125 for my 55g tank and 20g sump. I have had water in the tank for 1 week, and I am already frustrated with it. In my book, the price I paid was not cheap. It was certainly less than some of the better ones, but this thing seems useless. It is nearly...
