Well worth the money
| Installation and Operation |
Instructions were not the best with regards to adjusting the flow to shim wet or dry. after playing around with it for a couple of week I figured out that pulling the adjustment knobs up slightly allows for the bubbles to rise high enough to skim a little wetter. I also had to reroute the output because the existing dropped rite on the input pump, and i didn't feel that skimming the same water twice was very effective.

| Performance vs. Expectations |
I works great I have a 150 gal with 300lbs of live rock 13 fish with a couple LPS and sofies. I clean it once a day every day it always produces waste ans is very reliable. Very easy to clean!!
|
| Value for money |
Yes I am very pleased with this product. After spending nearly $7,000.00 on My tank I wasn't about to skimp on a protein skimmer. This skimmer is well worth the money.

Good stuff
| Installation and Operation |
Easy to setup and maintain, can be used anywhere, footprint not the smallest if run completely in sump though so be careful. About as close to set and forget as possible. I turn off all pumps for feeding except the skimmer so sump level rises by an inch or two, no overflow issues either from feeding or water level. Easy to empty and clean the cup which is also a decent size.
Slightly better output than a super skimmer 120 on my 54g reef, but a lot less hassle.

Dependable output, sensible price

Footprint in sump was a bit high, without the outflow box I had to play with PVC elbows and pipes to keep the return flow noise down (to zero)

I would not spend the money on this skimmer. Money can spent for much better units. |
| Liked about it |
The price was good for entry level reef equipment. I did like the fact that you could place the skimmer in sump, out of sump ( hang on) or hang on tank. The pump was good also.
|
| Didn't like |
Overall the skimmer never did perform consistently for me. It had a habit of overflowing regularly with no known cause. I tried in sump and out of sump and it just didn't get any better. The skimmer is made from extruded acrylic and is very thin and brittle.
