Seaclone Skimmer Works!!!!!!
Here is the thing ladies and gentleman.
I bought a seaclone skimmer from dfs and it wasnt inpressive as i thought. But heres the deal. I changed the air valve that it comes with for a home depot brass air valve for 5.96 and the froth is building up nicely awaiting the cup here in a sec.. i just changed it out. I have a 20 gallon high loaded sps tank.... i wouldnt recomment anything more than a 30 gallon for this.. just thought i would let everyone know. the rest of the skimmer i did not mod |

I modified my MJ1200 using the pre-impellar air injection mod that I found here and my Sea-Clown produces quite a bit of skimmate... I have it on my little 30 gal at my apartment and it does quite a good job.

Agree with Kody. I'd replace that pretty quickly. The salt can corrode brass and copper fairly quickly and start to leach into the tank. My boss used a thick gauge copper wire just to poke things around and we started getting copper readings within about a week and a half.

I had a brass valve on the AIR intake of my seaclown too, no problems, just metal and water don't mix, the air and metal is fine.

i made a similar mod with my seaclose but used an air valve that came with one of my powerheads. I also cut the inner most tube about 2.5 inches and i wouldnt say it works great but it works. As far as overflowing...never had it happen to me but mine is in my sump. Tomorrow i get my new skimmer!! anyway, the seaclones arent bad for small tanks IMO
