Dana,

It's a great skimmer choice ! Very versatile (hob or in sump), aquabee pump runs very effeciently, etc. I would recommend cleaning it with warm water and white vinegar once a month or so. Take out the pump and give it a good cleaning (makes a big difference in bubble production). Take some r/o water and pour it down the air tube regularly to eliminate any salt buildup. Go easy on adjusting the air valve...various things effect skimming production (hands in the tank, water level, etc.). This way you will avoid over flowing the collection cup.

I did'nt know you were looking for one ....I'm actually selling mine !
