Great advertising for a product that actually works, easy to clean the cup, easy to clean the impeller If you think it smells bad now, wait a year, as your tank matures you won't wait a week to clean it, the smell is indescribable, garbage a week old smells better!
I have one, and it's easy to hook up the cup over-flow hose into a container for excess sludge from the cup.
Note: be careful when adding different stuff to your system, such as new rock. Some things make your skimmer go nuts, silicates, and if you have the cup over-flow hose exporting to a container, the container will fill very quickly. I don't use filter socks, but the Reef Octopus skimmer works so well you don't need them. This info here on R2R is the biggest reason to follow. Here's a pic, it may take a year to fill a 5 gallon container, but don't wait past 1/2 full.......or borrow Ricks gas mask!
