Just picked up this for a customers tank. He has a very lightly stocked 120 and maybe 10 gallons in the sump. I'll let you know how it looks and if it was worth the money ($130).
 
Hey welcome! Hopefully Micah has something to report back on this skimer soon :D
 
Skimmer seems to be doing great! It is very water level dependant, so if the water gets even a little lower than when you adjusted it, it's performance drops. The pump also can't take a lot of head pressure so it needs a good 8-10 inches of water to work properly. The adjustment tube is a huge stepup from my SWC extreme 200's, way easier to move. The skimmer started producing within 15 minutes, I did do an overnight vinegar bath though.
