I'm a little late joining this thread, but I'm hoping for specific info on the AquaC skimmers.
To prep you, I have used CPR and the Superskimmer for ~30ish gal reef tanks. The CPR is barely worth the plastic. It worked OK for the first few months, but hasn't held up very well. The superskimmer is a step above the CPR, but still not that great IMO. The pump is HUGE and looks terrible in the tank, the flow is tempermental, so you'd get it all adjusted for dry or mildly wet skimming, then go to the movies, and return to find the cup overflowed. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKkk!
Several of you suggested the AquaC skimmers. Care to share why you like them? I'm in the market to replace a cruddy CPR and would like to get one that's a tier above the superskimmer. The prices don't seem to be too alarming at all, but I'm growing more skeptical of the cheaper ones since so far they don't seem to work that well.
Thanks!
