Has anyone purchased and tried out this product? I found it available on

[hr]
and it seems similar to the v1.2 skimmer. I am curious if it is as high quality as the v1.2 seems to be, or if its just a gimmick item.

i purchased one for my 12 gal dx .............
looked pretty good and fit extremly well - especially the built in clamp that secures it to the tank wall ...............
only drawback is there is the openings or slots for the water to flow through are not long enough and thus you have to continously add top off water almost dailey or you'll find the intake chamber almost dry .
other than that it looks - mounts - works just fine .
i'm about to modify mine and cut the openings a litle deeper so i will have a little more time between top offs.

When mine arrives, I guess I will break out my dremel and do some modding. I could not find any old cassette cases around the house, so I got this instead.

i thought about that also - my concern is the plastic is not your usual soft plastic and i'm concerned i may crack the casing.
really do like the clamp on design though - little tough to remove it once you've installed it though.
back to the drawing board i guess .
