not really worth the money you pay for it. you are better of getting something with a needlewheel pump system for the air injection.

 

got any budget recommendations . Thanks

 

I'd get on eBay or get used off forums if money is funny

 

What's your budget and for what size tank?

The skimmer performs okay for its price point. It'll get the job done, but it needs to be thoroughly cleaned weekly to biweekly. Salt creep/calcification really tear this skimmer up.

 

65 gallon obviously this one is 30 bucks so its on the cheap side but i would like to get the best all around value for 100 bucks or less . Thanks

 

This one wouldn't even make a noticeable difference on your tank it's rated for 50g. Look around on eBay or craigslist for a used eshopps. Maybe a psk 75 HOB or something.

 

thanks I will take a look

 

Look at the sca 301. I have the 302 and it it a good skimmer.

 

If you want a skimmer to do a good job then you need to buy the appropriate skimmer rated for your tank size and bioload otherwise your wasting your money. You can find used skimmers but if you can budget a little more there's plenty out there that are strong performers. I bought a brand new SCA 180 for 150 dollars that's a monster and works amazing on my 75 reef. A quality skimmer is worth the investment
