Put your money back in your pocket on this one. Save up for a decent skimmer if you are going to buy one. Sure this thing is priced right but it is a case of getting exactly what you paid for. I have one of these and use it on a 55 gallon tank. I get some results but nothing like you would get with a better skimmer. I rate it a 2 out of 5 cause I do get some thick green/brown skimmate using it so there is my proof it does work. It seems to like to spit out microbubbles by the trillions so sump placement may be better than the hang on. I don't have room for a sump so I hang it on the back. However if you are determined on buying this thing or have the tools and materials to modify it to work better the price is right for the materials to use this beast as a foundation to mod. I can't take anything away from the Maxi-Jet 1200 pump that comes with it. I'll score the powerhead 5 stars...but the rest of that contraption still gets 2 stars.

This is a terrible product, it seemed to be fine within the first few weeks, then it turned into the worst skimmer you can buy. I originally bought one for my 90 gal tank, but soon replaced it with a skimmer that could handle the tank, I now have the SeaClone 100 on my 20 gallon tank with just an undulated triggerfish in. This product is only somewhat useful if you replace the plastic valve they give you with a brass one.

I am setting up a reef tank. For a few days I thought it wan't working, but when I added live rock, it started foaming. It was very easy to set up and works fine.
