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.
 
I have that same skimmer I picked it up at last year's Macna when I was there and I love it .

System it is setup on

30 gallon display tank
50 gallon frag tank hooked in with main display
20 gallon sump

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.
