I would disagree, you can come over anytime and see what I am taking out. No tea mix for me, very dark nasty stuff. I am running the hydor 1000.

The collection cup needs to be forced in the top that has a o-ring in it (Yes this was a pain in the butt, and I was scared of it breaking over time). So I removed the o-ring, so there is no issue for me whatsoever. It works well and easy to remove and put back.

I love it, better than my EuroReef.

I'm running the Hydor 700 and pulling very dark nog as well. A collection cup of pudding every week! I've had no trouble with the o-ring but mine is less than a year old.
I've wanted to buy Kein's skimmer just cause a few times, however, I've been talked into some amazing Acans!
