No. I didnt do any mod. It took two weeks to start skimming. After that it is doing its job. But planning to upgrade.
Well, since we Nano guys are ppl too, we also have skimming issues. 
Here's my new skimmer.
Sapphire Aquatics NC12
Pros: fits in one of the chambers of the Nanocube and Aquapods
works nicely for a nanocube
Plug and play
Well made, simple but nice design
Cons
It is kind of loud
if you are using the Aquapod this model is not going to fit with the hood on

OH man I would love to see a nano using the skimmer as the sump/return /circulation pump.
Ati Bubble Master 250
well guys, finally went with a big skimmer. Here are some pics in action. The skimmer has been running for 24 hours and it has produced roughly 4 times the amount of skimmate that my aqua c urchin pro produced in a day. Initial skimmate is a bit wet, but we'll see what happens after a few days. Skimmate shown is from my tank which hasnt been fed for 1.5 days. Uses a thread wheel technology
Pros - lots of small bubbles, size 23" height, price around $650 to $700, low wattage pumps, quiet, leight weight
cons - So far, the only con is it is letting micro bubbles back into the sump via the return. Need to find a way to remedy that. Any suggestions?

GQ those pics suck horribly!!!! That skimmer supposedly kicks the crap out of the infamous and rediciously overpriced Bubble King skimmers. We need better pics of that thing in action Some clear shots of the bubble concentration and size would be nice.

NO.. There is a guy bring these in from Germany on his own, but he is kinda shady:lol2: Call Reefgeek and ask for Greg, you can talk him into giving a 10% off if you do so quickly. I am waitng for a re-circ model before I would get one.

Nice mod Tony I've been wanting to do that. Check out the Euroreef site. They have new impeller assemblies that are supposed to move a lot more air.
ALSO!!!!
I just received my DAS EX-1. I opened it up and the first thing I noticed was that the return tubes were visably used! Now everything was wet because they obviously leak test it before they ship it (which is a good thing) but there is crud and a bit of coraline on the return tubes!!!!!!!!!!
As I unpacked the skimmer I noticed the giant crack spidering out of the side of the skimmer body. They shipped it in a "Electronic Ballast" box with only one pass of the bubble wrap. To make matters worse at 9:29 am I received this e-mail:
"I just wanted to let you know that this product has been shipped and should arrive today.
I was not in the office yesterday and am only here til 10:00 am today. The tracking number
is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. "
