do they work well for a hang on skimmer?

Saw on ebay a knock off which looks exactly the same but for much cheaper and was wondering how well they work? The thing I am particularly interesting in is the skimmer/refugium combo. I think its a great idea if it works well.

I would go with the Aqua C- The CPR has too many micro bubble issues.

Id look at a Coralife Superskimmer before I looked at either of those.

I think I'm going to go with a CSS if bakpaks are not worth it. The only reason I'm interested in a BP is because there are models that are part skimmer, part refugium. If its not worth it, then I'm going with a CSS and separate refugium.

I have a CPR Bak Pak and have had no problems with it. I am in the process of setting up a coralife that I just got and am having some issues, they do make a bubble trap for the cpr that you could look into.
