I do, It's a hang on the tank job. I've modified the intake on the pump to try to surface skim a little better, but I still only get a cup of skimmate, if i'm lucky, once a month.

It airates the water, and has an awesome amount of feather dusters, but the downside is that it can't be cleaned. The baffles make it impossible to clean the skimmer properly. I empty the water and swirl new water around and empty it, and that's the best I can do. Hence my water changes on a regular basis.
