Never seen one in operation or heard of anyone using it.
Does it pull greenish/brown smelly crap out of the tankwater ?
If so - then it's good and it works.
If not - then it's either not adjusted properly - or it's a junk design.
Bump^

Generally, all skimmer works by the macrocmolecules in the water attaching itself to the micro bubbles. So if you have a good spin in the skimmer and bubbles, it shouldn't be a problem. However, some works better then others, but all skimmers should work (to an extent atleast). So, start the bad boy up and wait a few days to see if you have yuck come up, trust me, you will know when you see it!
