I've had several skimmers in the past. Mostly ones that hang on the back and are internal skimmers. I eventually bought this skimmer and I love it a lot. It works great with incredible results. Before I would have to clean out or replace my filter sock in a couple of days. But now with this skimmer it picks up all the fish waste. You'll see the difference in your tank. First time buyers and users of skimmers should know that you have to wait a couple of weeks for the skimmer to get settled in a actually start picking up debris from the water.Hide
Despite it being metric size fittings its still an easy external unit to hook up. I went with the recirculating 6 and plumbed it 6 feet away from the sump. It is rated for 180 gallons and on my 125 FOWLR tank it is actually a bit oversized. Very quiet and Can handle 500 gallons per hour easy. Plenty...Read More
Despite it being metric size fittings its still an easy external unit to hook up. I went with the recirculating 6 and plumbed it 6 feet away from the sump. It is rated for 180 gallons and on my 125 FOWLR tank it is actually a bit oversized. Very quiet and Can handle 500 gallons per hour easy. Plenty of bubbles. This unit is very comparable to higher end skimmers but at a working mans price. Very little break in period if any.Hide
As a skimmer goes, I'm no expert. Fortunately my friends are. I chose this skimmer because of the positive reviews and recommendations from friends in THIS PRICE POINT. There are absolutely better skimmers in higher price ranges.

As a skimmer goes, I'm no expert. Fortunately my friends are. I chose this skimmer because of the positive reviews and recommendations from friends in THIS PRICE POINT. There are absolutely better skimmers in higher price ranges.
PROS:
Firstly, I don't know why someone would say construction is questionable. All the pieces feel of good quality except for the return plumbing which uses thin PVC.
Drain fitting. If you travel or don't want to do daily maintenance this is fantastic and isn't always standard on skimmers
It comes with adapters from metric to 1 1/4" PVC for the return.
The skimmer is quiet. Much quieter than my aquaC Remora which with a silent pump still sounded like a jet engine.
CONS:
The Hailea pumps aren't very good. I was warned this was the weak link in they system. It is very loud. I was told it would break in over time but in my experience with 10 or 20 different pumps that if something starts at very loud you'll be lucky if it breaks in to just loud. Since I had to glue the PVC together or face water everywhere, my only option is to try and get coralvue to send me a new pump (and pray it is quieter) or upgrade to a bubble blaster 1000 which will increase skimmer output but also gets B ratings. It will also increase the cost of the skimmer by $200 too.Hide

I've owned 5 skimmers over the years. ASM to Euro-Reef. This thing is as cheaply made as any but works better than 1/2 of what I have owned.Good value but an obvious value item. Pumps are not anywhere near top of the line but not bad. It seems the parts are kind of thrown together in order to assemble this unit. Its metric so it is a hassle to assemble in terms of any extra plumbing that needs to be done..All that said, it can skim and it does that well. Its a little freaky until it breaks in but, after a day or two, it gets the job done. Not bad but a hassle to set up and confidence level regarding long term viability is so so.Hide
