No, I would not recommend this.
It is just okay
Pros: Holds media, good pump
Cons: Kinda flimsy very precise location in the water column.
Plastic feels okay but i was a fraid i was gong to break it when first handling it. I holds a good sizzed bag of media and the pump is okay. If it is too low in the tank its is not very efficient at surface skimming, but if it is too high the pump starts to run dry kicking up a boat load of bubbles. I ended up pulling it from tank after a few weeks

Started okay, but then....
Pros: It can fit behind rock work so you do not see it, strong pump, surface skims okay
Cons: Cheap Plastic, precise water line levels, can cause some awful micro bubbles
Look everything was great at first, this product came in a wonderful box and was well packed by the manufacturer. The plastic feels kinda cheap and I really thought I was going to break it trying to get it open. The pump is fine as long as you keep the water line 3/4 of the way up the baffles other wise WOOSH! micro bubbles everywhere. And it kinda did its job at surface skimming, but you may be better off just pointing a power head at the surface to kick everything into your skimmer.

Super Handy and Easy to Use
I wanted to add an extra filter to my 22 gallon tank. The Flexi worked great for me. It was super easy to put together and the magnet mount was very convenient. I was able to add a small bag of carbon as well as a small piece of polyfilter on top. The filter looks great inside the tank and changing out the carbon and polyfilter can't be any easier. It definitely helps to keep my tank cleaner!

meh
Pros: None really
Cons: see review
As a surface skimmer it requires multiple daily adjustments to get at the right level (I have a separate ATO.)
As a media reactor it is very messy, flow seems extremely slow. It'll hold a bag of purigen comfortably but that is it.
Included media is garbage.
Whenever I handle it I am afraid I'm going to break it. It's a cool idea but it didn't really execute well.
