I'll give it a go also. With a 250 Gallon system it won't be big enough by itself but I can mount it right next to my current skimmer to get an apples to apples comparison.

I'd be interested in testing this out in the Cade s2 600 frag I just ordered. I'm hoping to receive the tank in about 2-3 weeks so let me know if that works for your timeline.

I actually pulled the trigger and already bought one on amazon.

I love this thing! Especially if you have an AIO or smaller sized tank under ~40 gallons. It pulls skim out consistently and the dc pump makes it super easy to dial in. Very quiet, my jebao wave maker makes more noise.

After a week of skimming:

Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nano skimmer. I will caveat that it won't fit in IM desktop back chambers without running it sideways or modifications. I am running inside my hob refugium on my IM 20 pennisula. I was looking for a better magtool skimmer, after seeing the experiences here.

I have tanks of all sizes, I could probably properly evaluate a skimmer or two in one or more setups.

I'm interested in testing this skimmer as well. One of my systems has a total water volume of 60-70 gallons. The skimmer's footprint would fit in my sump nicely.
Thank you for your interest. PM sent.

This is awesome. Would be cool to compare side by side against my Reef Octopus

Nice to see some new products/competition. I could test one for a 25g or a large tank... 80-200g+. I run a heavy bioload!

I have an Innovative Marine AIO that would make a great test tank. I currently use an Icecap K1 nano that is altered to fit in the rear chamber, but have been looking for a solid option (and few exist in this range). After looking at the dimensions of this skimmer, it appears it would fit perfectly in the back of the AIO chambers. I feed heavily, and the skimmer would get a good workout. I’m also a scientist and love experimenting :)
