Anyone tried this skimmer?

I was curious if anyone has experience with this or has heard anything about it. Looks like it would fit nice and snug into the compartment of an AC500.

check nano-reef.com, they have a few people there that use it...

That's where I first saw it...but thought I would check around a bit as well.

I have had mine for about a month, pulls out the gunk, but leaves a lot of micro bubbles. I fixed that with cutting a PVC cap in half and rounding out the bottom to fit the skimmer and it now acts like a bubble trap. Fission supplied filter pads to fit the skimmer to aid but it dirtys fast. Overall nice little skimmer for a small nano or a pico.

I would love to see a picture of one in a tank running if anyone has it.

I have had one for a few weeks now. It consistantly pulls out a weak tea colored skimmate. I do have to empty the cup at least daily. The only down side is that every few days i need to clean out the floss material or replace it because once it becomes too clogged, the water level in the skimmer rises and the collection cup overflows. I havent been too impressed, but for the price and size I really cant complain.

I'll try to post a pic if I can find my digital camera and can figure out how.
