It lookis like a cheapo to me. Look into sumper skimmers from coral life. I had one on a 29g worked great. Remora also makes some good skimmers.

thats like comparing a ferrari to a hyndai

people are usually not happy with seaclones. If you can affort a really high end skimmer (most of us cant) look into a coral life super skimmer or a remora.

I've heard and seen great things with the rio nano skimmer. It's less than $40 too.

That skimmer in your link is specifically built for a Nano Cube 24 and won't hang on a tank or sit in a sump.

SeaClones are a very good newb skimmer. Easy to adjust and the "vortex swirl" is unique to them.

tests as of 1/04/08
Ca>480ppm, I'm bringing it down
dKH=9, ok
PO4=0ppm, ideal

1/06/08 after a water change
Ca= 480ppm, still a little high
pH= 8.2, I'd like it at 8.3
NO3= 10ppm, acceptable
