Coralife 220 skimmer in 210g

[Trickdout69]

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this skimmer. I have a 210g with a 55g sump. I don't have a ton of money to dump on a skimmer. If this one wont work do you have any ideas on something in that price range? Any info would be great

Although, IME, the Corallife skimmer is a really great skimmer and pulls out a lot of junk, it also makes a lot of noise. I've had three Corallife skimmers and am still running one of the HOB 65. Most everyone will tell you to get a larger skimmer because the rule of thumb is twice as big. Here's a skimmer I got a few months ago, am very happy with, and it's VERY quiet.

It's rated for 185gal. - 240 gal. I presume a closer rating also. It's 264.71 and it's listed for 399.00 everywhere else.Bubble-magus Hero 180 Protein Skimmer Aquarium Skimmers What I received was labeled Seaside Aquatics CS 180. Same skimmer just different labeling.

I use an old coralife and moved the pump to the bottom of the cylinder, increase the venture tube to 1/4" and made a silencer for the air intake. It works very well and lots of used ones int he market. Just an idea.....
