Orca protein skimmers

Anybody have experience with Orca. Positive or Negative. I like the fact that they custom build to size. I want a powerful skimmer but my sump will only allow 23.5X10X16. Pretty difficult dimensions to accomplish what I want..

Shan is a great guy to deal with, if you have patience I would guess he's pretty busy with builds this time of year. High quality, careful craftsmanship, and will build you anything you want.

Their skimmers look like they're built with pride and quality in mind. I was talking to him about building a skimmer and then after a few emails he stopped responding?

Thanks Ostrow I'll try again! I figured he was too busy and I really wanted to see one of his skimmers in action.
