my sea clone is in my sump and it works OK especially for the price. One thing though is you will either have to keep the sump water level low or put it up on a brick or something as it doesn't work well if under more than 2 or 3 inches of water ( I took the HOB attachment off and let it sit in the sump on a DIY plastic shelf).

Thanks for the replies.
Hondo- Taking off the HOB attachment sounds like a good idea. I think I will give it a try. How do you keep the water coming out of the skimmer from splashing? Since the sump won't be full won't the skimmer cause a lot of splashing? Do you have a picture of your sump set-up?
Thanks again-

I put the skimmer close to the side of the sump so it hits the glass and doesn't make the splashing sound but you could also build a run off out of 2" tubing or something or just put a large rock in there and let it hit that. I will attach two photos. The first is my Fuge side the second is the sump side. Not visible in the middle is the syphon overflow from one to the other.

those of us that have the KM Nautilus TE on the board are very happy with it and would recommend it.
it goes for $149, not including pump (I've got a mag7).

unless you've owned a couple, how would you know?
