Re: need advise please

I can't say for sure since I have never owned one, but I have read that they are not that bad, but not great either. If your willing to spend alittle more you buy a octopuss skimmer, and I havn't heard anything bad about them.

Looks like Red Sea brand. Red Sea equipment is usually very low end.
