ETSS 600 thoughts anyone?

If you have one or had one, I would love to hear your thoughts on it, along with tips. I had an MRC MR2 at the beginning, but could never get it tuned up properly...course it was used and had been repaired.

I was getting tired of my superskimmer for my 90+30 rig. I needed a little more export I felt. Well, now I have it. Think I will change my return 40rlt Iwaki into the skimmer feed pump and get a mag9 for a return pump.

I am interested in your thoughts about them as skimmers. Got a good deal...barely seen water and I bought it for $280 shipped to the door.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds Cool Ken I have no clue about the skimmer though so here is a bump

Thanks Kelli. Still no response so I will bump once more. Maybe nobody uses them. That's a little scary to consider. 8/

They are mostly the same as far as I am concerned with the venturi technology. The only difference would be the impellar and the size of the air intake. Which I think that AE Tech (ETSS) has a HUGE air intake. Kind of like the "spray injection technology" on AquaC skimmers. Never got that. I mean you would figure it MIGHT be a little more efficient because of the blasting of water, but dont all skimmers in the long run simply blast air and water together to make bubbles? ETSS is a good skimmer though.
