Default CPR Bakpak 2R Skimmer

I'm seriously looking at this for the 45g. Anyone used it ?

Hey, there's a store around here that has the turbofloater 1000 for $198. My understanding is that the Aquamedic skimmer is better. I see J&L's has the BakPak for $198.

The Aquamedic apparently needs a 10" clearance on the back of the tank, which left that one out for me. It did have some pretty serious rave reviews I thought.

Well, I did both the maxijet 1200 mod and the airstone mod to the CPR Bakpak 2r. (Listen to me......I might DIY something yet... )

It's got some sludge now, and hard to photo the cup, too dark, but lots of dark liquid. Still playing with the cup level a bit. Foam consistency is good for a small skimmer.
