new skimmer

i just got a SeaStorm 150 Protein Skimmer with rio pump from a guy that i bought his 75 from, got the tank, skimmer, small wet/dry filter and quiet one 3000 for $100 so i figured i couldnt pass it up since i need a new tank...but i now have 2 skimmers and want to figure out which is better, the other is a Coralife Super Skimmer 125...any thoughts to which i should use on my 75?

I'd guess the seastorm will perform a little bit better than the super skimmer. Probably not a whole lot better though. Either should be sufficient for your 75g tank.

I agree either will be OK for your tank. Nice pick up BTW.

ohk thats what i figured but i wasnt sure if one was a little better than the other...and mike yea i had an ehiem canister filter that i sold for 110 then went straight over and picked up the tank, he was moving and didnt want to have it sit for a while so he put it at a good price and i jumped on it...should have the new 75 up and running in the next week or 2!
