I have had experiences with their past skimmers and have heard of the experiences with this new one. Unfortunately, most of them are not good. For the cost, you can get much more effective skimmers out there. Look into the Reef Octopus Extreme models. They work very well and feature much higher volumes of air into the contact chamber. Some of the models are within your price range, too. Much more bang-for-your-buck, IMHO.
Cool, thanks for the info. I forgot to add I will need to run it as a stand alone, because until I get a new sump I don't have room for a Skimmer. Do you have any recommendations there?
