A friend of mine at work just got one for his new build. Unfortunately came shipped with a broken air intake pipe.
He said build quality is top notch. Won't know performance till it hits water.

They look very close to a bubble king so I can imagine they work well, it's vertex product so you can almost assume they work good. I was looking at reviews before and they look like its a well liked slimmer so far but it's still fairly new . My thought is go to a Lfs store and find a skimmer for under 400 bucks that looks this nice and built this well that can handle up to 150 gallons. Only thing I would wonder about us the sicci pump never used them before but had a friend with a return pump and seemed good. I ordered some of there powerheads the other day.

I think most concerning about the Sicce pump is they are being custom built for Vertex, so parts down the road may be difficult to come by. But it looks like a great skimmer and, since I'm in need of an upgrade, I am considering this also.

I picked one up last week. Been set up and running producing amazing thick skim mate since day two! Runs very quiet. Optimal water depth is 7 1/2" or so but can be adjusted for other depths.

What would you like to know? I have been running this skimmer since the end of December and haven't had an issue.

Skimmer has been running great. No noise what so ever. Everything on my reef runs "whisper" quiet. Just cleaned the skimmer on Saturday and just took this pic tonight. I would recommend this skimmer to anyone! The bubbles are NOT coming from those skimmer. They are coming from an air stone with my Nitra-Guard bio-cubes.
