Sapphire Nanoskimmer reviews?

I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of how these are performing?
I am still debating between one of these and the aqua c nano remora

I like my nano remora but I wish I would have gotten it with a mod that's a barb fitting on the collection cup to drain into a container.

Ca= 480ppm, still a little high
pH= 8.2, I'd like it at 8.3
NO3= 10ppm, acceptable

i have heard that the sapphire is better than the aqua c by far.
check out nano-reef.com and search around.
i hear good things about the tunze as well. the price on the sapphire is awesome at only around $100.

Sapphire does a decent enough job of wet skimming.

It's not the greatest, but I have no complaints.

My sapphire skimmer works ok. It pulls out tea colored skimmate. I decided to take it out and just do water changes. I was too lazy to maintain it for what it was doing.
