so I am thinking of purchasing a cadlights 1150 skimmer. does anybody have any experience with one of these? how are they? any other options for my sump? I have a small area so I need a small footprint.

I have one and have yet to set it up.

My friend who set his up was very happy with it until the pump died about 3 months later.

How is it to adjust? See some reviews saying it is a pain

They are a little finicky to adjust but once set they work great and it is a cone skimmer and the price you can't beat. I am looking at getting one of there largest skimmers for my next frag system.
