excaliber skimmer

[palcaidinho]

I am looking for any comments on the excaliber skimmer, good and bad. I am thinking of purchasing one this week and am looking for any feedback. I have heard alot of negative comments on the prizm protein skimmers on how they are difficult to adjust and need constant tweeking.please help Pat

Bad unless your tank is around 30 gallons.
I had one on my 75 gallon tank, skimmer was rated to 250.

I JUST replaced it with a Red Sea Berlin Hang On skimmer (admittedly nowhere near the best but I got it new for $40) and after its initial breaking in period was over (day and a half) it churned out 2 cups full of the darkest brown/black liquid I have ever seen.

And I know this isn't from something that may have died recently because I only have one fish in my tank and she is still there.
