HOB skimmers. Can they do the same job as sump skimmers?

The Deltec MCE 600 is the largest you can get in HOB that i know of. I owned one for years and its still very quiet and pulls air as advertized.
One thing is though you will need to keep air intake clean. The best way to do it is disconnect the pump each time you clean the cup. this way air line will soak and purge itself.
