I bought this skimmer off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Current-Fission...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2a061827ba
(I got the smaller 150 version) and it arrived today.
Positives:
Price $50 shipped
Size (rated for 150 for my ~40 gal of water volume)
recirculating pump (very quiet) and produces very fine bubbles
Negatives:
Collection cup was broken upon arrival (was able to fix it very easily with plastic epoxy)
Large footprint (is dominating my 20 gal sump)
does not come with feeder pump (although i had a maxi jet 900 left over from my backpack and this is powering it fine)
Control knob (i had to use pliers to adjust it)
I will update about how well it skims and how easy it is to tune/stays tuned
