Comments: So far it stinks. I can not get any foam to make it ti the collection cup, the instructions are very limited and there are virtually no online help. If anyone knows any tricks with this skimmer I would love a post. Vic I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have had this skimmer for over almost a year, and just hate it. It arrived broken. Instead of replacing it, I had to speak to Tunze directly, who shipped me a replacement part. I had to re-assemble the whole unit again once the replacement arrived, and the re-assembly was ridiculously complicated. The parts are ill-fitting, and to clean it and put it back together is an exercise in luck. The skimmer function is adequate, but for the price, that should be given. If I didn't spend over $300 (with sump attachment) I would have tossed this in the trash and bought a different brand. (I am writing this review because I just spent the last 1.5 hours trying to put it back together after cleaning.) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: During shipping the venturi tube came dislodged from the pump so the skimmer initially made no bubbles at all. A simple reinsertion of the tube solved the problem. This is the easiest-to-tune skimmer I have ever owned. I can dial the color of the skimmate I want and it pulls out loads of junk. After only one week I see a noticeable reduction in cyano in the tank. Do make sure to buy the magnet holder.....worth every penny! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
