    Couldn't find a picture at Marine Depot and with just a description I really can't comment.

    I recently bought one of these for my 29 gallon reef tank. I can honestly say after running this for about two weeks that I am not impressed, even a little. It is not performing very efficienctly at all. I wish now I would have spent a little more and bought a better one. If you are interested I will make you a deal on one.

    I have heard negative things about them. They are supposed to be the old model before the Seaclone came out. Mind you that is what I have heard, I could be mistaken about the manufacturer. I had a cheezy Jebo skimmer that worked ok, but I had to fiddle w/ it way too much. I bought a Remora Pro after reading so many positive things about em. You should see the dark brown nasty funk I get out of it. I would recommend it highly.

    Sorry, They aren't related to Seaclones. I do humbly appologize. Sure looks a lot like a skilter though. :)

    Regarding via aqua multiskimmer.
    i have two of them and they are very hard to
    adjust it tool me two weeks. once they are
    adjusted they work good but every time you empty
    skimmer basket or change water level in the tank
    you have to readjust them/ you do this by adjusting
    water flow and the stem venturi adjuster.
