Poor shoots best on fish and aquatic animals

So I've had this skimmer for two months thought it would need some break in time hence a late review. I've found that at my 120g this skimmer either doesn't skim thick or constantly overflows and despite turning off the power and opening the air valve there's no middle ground. Or the other way around. Still doesn't do much skim. I am extremely disappointed

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • big and bulky

Good price and works

Inexpensive DC powered skimmer. The processing quality is very good. As good as some skimmers cost twice or even triple. The bladder plate-like needle is very good. Very similar to a well known branded skimmer using the same style. It reduces the number of bubbles that can escape back into the tank, in which case none of the bubbles have escaped.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Doubtful

it's a beast and beautiful

I used a Coralife 220gl skimmer, I've had it for about 7 years, the motor was finally enough. Tried to buy another Coralife didn't work, looked at a few other websites. found this for 400gl, looked it up on Revain. $100 cheaper than other sites. This thing is massive, thick plastic, motorized, and best of all, you can take it apart to clean it properly.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • unreliable

Easy install and great performance

I had a 90 gallon marine tank and decided to upgrade to 150 gallons. My skimmer barely ran at 90 gallons so I knew I was going to need a new one. I've always used Coralif. I honestly wanted to go with another Coralife as I believe you get what you pay for. My wife talked me into doing this as there was a voucher and it would arrive before Coralife. I thought I could at least try. So glad I did. That works great. It's quiet, it fits in well and is so easy to clean. My last was PITA for cleaning.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Minor issues

Cheap aquarium pumps and filters

I received it damaged but they fixed it quickly. Appearance is perfect. 200 liters of salt water. first week of use now at 7" mark, max engine RPM, medium bubble setting and water column at the end of the tube: no noticeable protein accumulation yet. After another week of work and setup experiments: for phosphorus 200+ppb (initial load) combined with 200 gallons of salt water, the Contains 14 medium sized frozen fish-fed foods, 8.75 inches deep, flow tube set at collection/end of inclined…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
