Edward, I searched it and I found only 1 actual real feedback. A guy from Reef Central said it works better than his remora.
What size tank would you be using this on?

My tank is a 30g, with about 20 gallon sump, I'm currently running a current fission power skimmer rated for up to 220 gallons, so the website says...... maybe I don't have it set up right cause its not working all that well. I want to run another skimmer with it......

I think it would be better than a remora as well. Im not crazy about where the water enters the main chamber but concept is pretty much basic. Worst case you get a proven used pump, open up the venturi and mesh mod it, and I think it would do a real good job on your tank

 

[sil3ncio]

what's a mesh mod?

i use it on about a 40 gallon tank and it works great.......got it from this site cheaper http://www.aquatraders.com/odysseaps75proteinskimmer.aspx

It's actually cheaper on eBay, free shipping=$44.95, aquatraders=$52.80 ($35.90+$16.90 shipping)

It looks like a taller cheaper Sea-Clone.

I had one, it worked ok until the first time I went to clean it, after that the tube started leaking, it is a cheaper version of the seaclone. I'd spend the extra $40 and get a coralife or if you have the money go with something else like a Turbofloater multi, they are the best hang on's I've ever used and the nice part is if you decied to get a sump down the road it can be used there also.
