Pretty much what i want is something that has worked for somebody else [ie a skimmer] that didn't die after a few months or a year.
I was told that Sea Clone is not a very good skimmer, it's ok but it's cheap.
A few people have told me that they have heard of Sea Clone but never used them cause good things weren said.
I want to give my tank the best that i can, given money.
I dont wanna spend like 10grand on a skimmer cause of the name brand but cause it will last a lifetime and the performance.
Mainly what i'm asking, if what's good to have and what's bad to have.
I'm asking for experience with certain items or name brands, like "i trust sea reef cause it's never crapped out on me and i like the performance i got with it"
or "i hate clone reef cause it crapped out after a few months"
I wanna know what works and what doesnt without getting me into debt.
