When first getting the skimmer I did find it took some time to break in. And I agree the Siccee is a little finicky. Sometimes takes 60 seconds to kick in after plugging it in (but pretty reliable after that.) I used the mesh wheel that came with it until one of the little zip ties that held the mesh on snapped off after about 8 months of use. I use the stock pinwheel now and to be honest I find they both pull alot of skimate out of the tank. The Siccee pump I think is a pretty inexpensive pump and so I am sure there are higher quality pumps on other models/brands. This is my first skimmer so I am no expert but for what I think a skimmer is supposed to do my 200 has been living up to my expectations.
