Works for me.
| Installation and Operation |
This is a very easy skimmer to set up and once you set it is will keep doing the work untill you unplug it.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
I have used this skimmer for several (about 4)years now, no mods, first on my 37G SPS reef w/5 fish, and now on my 45G frag tank. Water is clean corals are happy and growing. I think it is a key factor in the success I have had w/corals.
|
| Value for money |
Bought it used, cleaned it up and the quality was evident as soon as I plugged it in, so it was a great deal for me. I'd buy a new one if this one ever needs replacing.

| Customer Support |
Non needed, local LFS has parts.
|
| Liked about it |
Set it & forget it (you do have to remember to empty the cup). Quick easy adjustment to set it to skim wet or dry. Reliable consistant workhorse.
|
| Didn't like |
Wish the collection cup was larger.

Great for smaller tanks
| General |
A good skimmer for someone who has a smaller tank (I wouldn't suggest this on more than maybe 55gal or so) and needs a good performer with a small footprint that is largely "set and forget." |
| Liked about it |
The skimmer performed well and did not take up a ton of space. The addition of a valve to fine-tune the air going into the skimmer was a really nice touch, I thought (even though it makes no sense to reduce the air going into this skimmer, IMHO).
|
| Didn't like |
I thought the pump on the skimmer was rather low-quality given other skimmer pumps out there. I know this is by no means a super-expensive skimmer, but the Sedra pump on mine was a bit noisy and had to be cleaned regularly to maintain good performance.

Good Buy
| General |
This is definitely a well built quality skimmer for someone looking for something for a smaller tank. You will need to have a sump to use it properly. but overall a very nice and well built product. |
| Liked about it |
Produced Good skimmate on my smaller tank. I only ran it for a short time as I ended up tying this into my central system.
|
| Didn't like |
Didn't like the adjustment. I am spoiled by Gate Valves!
