Does anyone have any experience with <a href="http://www.reefgeek.com/filtration/Protein_Skimmers/AquaC/Urchin_In-Sump_w!_Maxi-Jet_1200_Pump_by_AquaC">this skimmer?</a>? It looks like it would take up a small footprint in my sump, but I've never seen one in action before.

I'm looking to replace my CSS65 skimmer, which is sitting on a shelf in my garage. Thanks for the help!

I used a regular remora and modded it to fit into my sump. Not sure the tank size you had, but I was not really that impressed with it. I have a 75 and it did ok, but I recently upgraded to a deltek MCE600 and all it can say it WOW. this things pulls some nasty stuff out of the tank.

They are going used for say 250/300 on this site. Not sure what your $$ or tank size is, but for an insump skimmer, it only takes up a few inches.

Wow, I looked at the 300 and it's nice. I've heard nothing but good things about Deltec. Thanks for the advice.
