    Looks interesting. Maybe something to consider since I haven't set-up my tank yet.

    Marc: On the testimonials page would that be the Big Al's on Sources Blvd?

    Also, the skimmer looks a lot like what is in the Skilter filter...which is not a very highly rated filter/skimmer combo

    Not sure if anyone is still interested or tied to this thread, but I have first hand experience with this unit. I have had one in my 55 reef for about a month. It is a great unit and it's calims are pretty accurate. It does infact surface skim and skims pretty well. If you are not able to have a sump this is a great all in one unit. Please feel free PM or ping me added info.

    Looks simple enough and beneficial. Yes it does look similar to the Remora though the remora doesn't have a carbon compartment.
    I will stick to my Aqua C skimmers though!!
