Any thoughts on this skimmer?

Jebo Protein Skimmer 520. Has anyone had any experience with this skimmer? I want to use it with my 72gal because I'm thinking about upgrading to a 150 soon.
If this skimmer is junk, what would be a good one to use on my 72gal that would also work for a 150?
Thanks,

if you're going to upgrade to a 150, get a skimmer that is rated for tanks upto 300 gallons. asm, octopus, etc....

my MRC MR4R.
I

recirculating skimmers,
the 2R would give you plenty of room to grow.

I have the Jebo 180 HOB skimmer. the Skimmer it self works good( mind you it's on a 50gal and it's rated for 180gal could not imagine putting it on a 180gal). The only thing the pump that it came with burnt out in about 8 months replaced the pump and it works good again.(only payed $50CDN for the skimmer and another $50 for the replacement pump) so i guess i can't conplain.

For a tank that size dont go cheap on the skimmer,get a good used one from the buy/sell board here or somewhere else.Go with the name Octo,MRC,ASM,Aquac-EV are good,Ive got a Euroreef and cant imagine life without it. If you get a cheap one you will forever be fussing over it certain that it isnt skimming as well as it could,then you will start looking at better ones and eventually you will shell out the $$ and get a good one. Then you will be shocked by how much it skims and how little you have to do anything to it. They all look to be about the same the truth is far from that. Its like looking at 2 glasses of water and trying to determine which has the highest TDS.
