I'll make this short,I bought a Red Sea C-Skim 1200 skimmer,found out it's junk,sent it back,and bought a Alpha 170 Cone Skimmer.

The C-Skim 1800 uses a much better pump, a Sicce PSK 2500, than the 1200, but its the same pump that's in other skimmers for the same price as the 1800 (with better reputations). Check out the sponsor page. If it was my 350 dollars, for 30 bucks more than the C-Skim 1800 you can get a Super Reef Octopus 3000 Internal from Premium Aquatics. That uses an even better pump than the Sicce.
