Coralife Super Skimmer Needle Wheel 220 gallon - Aquarium Advice

Masterplan75 · 07-09-2008, 05:10 PM

any opinions on this skimmer?? also wouldnt this be kinda overkill for a 60gallon tank? i had picked up a Red Sea - Prizm Pro Deluxe Model for 40$ used... and its really loud... also later found out its kinda over kill for my tank as well.. so this guy is offering to trade me the one i put in the title for the Red Sea or are they just both crap?

I had both...and they are both crap, but the CSS220 is way better.
The Prism is far from overkill for 60g tank, in fact it's not overkill for a 10g. I would say the CSS220 can handle up to a 75.
If it's an even up trade...go for it.

well i kinda had a spontaneous buy cuz i saw it for cheap.. at 40$.. but then did the some research and saw it was a pain to maintain.. relisted it on craigslist and am hoping to sell it back or make a trade for something different hopefully better.
