I'd like some opinions on this skimmer . . . . anyone ever use one or hear things about it? It's got a great reputation on the "other" reef forum. Just thought I'd see what you all think. Its based on a needle wheel style pump, and it only uses 18w of electricity.
H&S In-Sump 110-F2000 (100 gallon) Protein Skimmer
Pump: AquaBee 2000/18w
Diameter: 4"
Height: 20"
Footprint: 5.5"x11.5"
Output: 1"
This skimmer would be used on a 30 gallon, barebottom SPS reef. It would be placed in sump and is going to be the primary means of filtration in addition to LR; hence the large capacity for the small tank.
Thoughts? Perhaps an alternative suggestion?

Yes, it is only a 30 gallon, but its going to be more like a 40-45 gallon system. In addition its going to be a bare bottom reef. A powerful skimmer is a must in that situation.
I figure that taking the total system volume and doubling it coupled with the over estimation of most skimmers puts me right at about a 100 gallon skimmer.

The turbo floater bl**s ( no offense ) H&S does have awesome reviews. I totaly agree with you. Spend the money and get the best this way you will not be ever worring about, "well I wonder if the H&S would have been better" ? There is always the MCE 600 Deltec!!!!

H&S are very nice skimmers and other than the Deltec mentioned the others aren't even in the same league.........
