Any experiences with Via Aqua Multi-Skimmer?

Any experiences with Via Aqua Multi-Skimmer?
Nano-sized combo - protein skimmer, mechanical and chemical filter and a chamber for biomedia or an ultraviolet sterilizer.

Looks like next step after Taam Rio Nano Skimmer, or just a larger unit.
Thanks.

i use that one! i use it on my 55g, it goes crazy everytime i feed my fish, i dont use the uv it came with, i dont see a point in it, other wise, it works great. try not to get anything stuck in the filter intake tube thing, its a big hassle having to take the skimmer out and dissembling it and cleaning out the tubes.

I have had 2, one that was used when I got it and one that I bought new off the ebay ($25 shipped!). My biggest complaint is that they seem to be prone to leaking at the powerhead. But not much..just that salt creep kinda thing. Wont flood your house or anything. At one point I wanted to replace the powerhead, but I could not seem to find any...they are specific to the unit I think. Also, the adjustments are kinda hard and the instructions dont help much. Mine has UV, but I honestly cannot tell much difference between that and my other tanks. Its currently on a 20gal long. It is a plus that it has a surface skimmer! Keeps the top of the water nice and clean!

Lucky you, $25! Now $80 plus shipping...
I missed, that it has surface skimmer - really nice.
Thank you both!
Does skimmer produce a lot of skimmate?
