I found what looks like a great deal on a protein skimmer, but I'm not 100% sure. Can any of you recognize what kind this is and give me a thumbs up or down for it?

It's equivalent to a SeaClone skimmer. Except that a SeaClone will chop bubbles (a definite plus). A SeaClone can also be modified to be a fairly decent skimmer by converting the pump to a needle wheel impeller (et. al). This other one may not convert so easily.

Bottom line is that anything is better than nothing; and you get what you pay for. Just don't rely on this one for too long.

I was curious about this too. I went with an eshopps PSK 100 though. I've got a 90 gal so it's perfect for me. It's only $140ish on amazon.
