HEY THANKS! This is what I was looking for.

I think I'm going to punt this thing out the door and send the pieces back to the factory with a picture of my middle finger. I'm so unimpressed with their "customer service" right now that being a child would likely make me feel a little better.

I'm going to be looking at the Remora Pro hang on skimmer as another poster mentioned they were decent and don't fail. I like that idea right now.

I have a Remora on my 33g. I won't buy another one. They're ok, but they aren't great. They are the best cheap skimmer you can get though. Get a Deltec MCE300 (~$295), they are only about $30 more than the Remora Pro ($265), and they'll kick the Remora's butt as far as their skimming ability. I've never heard of one overflowing.

Another option for a great (based on reviews, not personal experience) HOT skimmer would be the Bermuda Aquatics Rogue skimmer.
