Anyone here running bubble magus curve 5 or seaside es5

Looking to hear some reviews on the bm curve 5 and the seaside aquatics es5.
They are pretty much the same skimmer but the bm comes with a rock sp1000 pump and the seaside comes with a sicce sk200 pump.
Anyone here running one of these. I have someone selling me one of these skimmers for a good price. Just not sure which one is a better buy
Thanks

I'm using the seaside aquatics es7, very happy with it. Dials in easy enough and have had no issues with it. Had just shy of a year at this point

Running the BM Curve 5 on my office Nano (25g + 10g sump). Took awhile to tune in (maybe a bit overkill) but has been running great for 6 months. Quiet and skims great.

Running the Seaside Aquatics CS7 for about a year now. Can't really compare it to another skimmer because it's the first skimmer I got. I'm happy with it, it does the job. Just have to keep water level constant for efficient skimming.

What water level are you guys running them at?

Thanks for the replies. I have been doing a lot of researching and I seen a mix if heights from 8 to 10. I guess I will play with it and see what best works for me
