Ebay Protein Skimmers

[Quil]

I've been looking at bidding on a protein skimmer on Ebay, but there are a ton of them on there in my price range, and I really don't know one from another as far as quality: Odyssea, Clean-Up, Sea Clone, Marineland, Berlin Airlift, Oceanic....the list goes on and on. Any of these particularly good, or are they all about the same?

TIA

well what is your price range??

 

[malkore]

and what size is your tank?

My tank is 60 gallons. I'd like to stay under about $100 if possible.

BTW, I'm looking at a FOWLR setup, possible keeping a dwarf lionfish. I want to be sure I get a skimmer that can effectively handle that bio-load. Thanks again.

Do not, I repeat do not get a sea clone.

Trust other people and read up on skimmers. From what I have seen on multiple boards the best are Aqua C Remora, Balpak. But do some research for yourself.

Thanks, I'll be sure to steer clear of Sea clone
