I have a coralife 125 but I was wondering is there better options available. And would it even be worth it to upgrade. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated folks.

I used a ASM G3 for my 125 and loved it. Almost sorry I sold it when I upgraded to a latger tank. I myself love beckett skimmers and am running a areofoamer 830 ,they put out a lot of skimmate.

The new ATi Bubblemaster 160 should skim the poop right out of your animals.

If I were you and if you plan on going to a larger tank in the future, I'd try and get a skimmer that would work well on even a larger tank.
I just say that because I have a 90 now as well and I run an AquaC EV240 (good for a 90-120) but I want to upgrade soon and I don't think that this skimmer would cut it on a 180 or 225 that is heavily stocked. Just somthing to consider.
GOOD LUCK!

Saying a Tf1000 is good for a 250 is like saying a Remora is good for 150g.
I replaced my Tf1000 because it couldnt keep up with my 58g.

I have a RO NW 150 and it works great. And for about 160.00 a great value as well

Thanks for the replies guys. How do they stack against coralife 125's? Does my coralife suck, compared to the others?
