Default ProClear vs. SeaClone? Suggestions?

Going with one of these two I beleiev, price point is a must. FOWLR 55 hex.
They are about the same price and the local shop has them, so this Friday...
I have heard good and bad about both.
I actually assuem they are about the same as per quality, ease of use, and actual skimming ability! Thanks

Thanks for all of your help, this place is the best!&&55 Acrylic Hex FOWLR.

I had the SeaClone for a while. With mine, I found that I had to keep adjusting the air valve to get the right size bubbles. What a big pain in the back side. I've never tried the ProClear, so I can't help you there.

Well, I have a Red Sea Berlin Classic skimmer, and that does not get the great reviews either, BUT IT WORKS FOR ME!!! AND I LIKE IT!!! Craig's skimmers work for him and I have seen pics of his skimmer at work! He has always given me good advice here and I would be confident in his opinions!
