Many complain that the manual is insufficient. Priming the pump seems to be the main issue. I learned a trick. After powering the pump, suck in and out on the air hose. I think it adds more suction pressure so that priming has more power. It should start immediately after that. This thing pulled out thick skimmate out of my 90 g.

I bought the Reef Octopus BH-2000 (about the same price and it includes a free surface skimmer -- a $30 value that AquaC would have charged you) and after 2 hours, it was pulling junk out of the water into the cup. It makes TONS and TONS of tiny bubbles compared to the AQUAC Remora. Plus, the pump is outside the tank so its not heating up the water and its not taking up space inside the tank and also not ugly. Because its so efficient that the cup fills up every 2-3 days, you'd want a hang-on skimmer instead of an in sump so you can get to the cup in standing position instead of crawling under the tank to get to the cup. The Reef Octopus BH-2000 is definitely 5 stars. Update 4/2/2012: I thought the pump died after 16 months but it just needed a good cleaning.

I use this as a hang on the back, it took out a lot of nasty stuff out of the tank, but the return pipe puts a lot of micro and macro bubbles into the tank, the need include a baffling chamber in the future design.

I replaced my AquaC remora with this skimmer. Very pleased with the purchase. It skims out a lot of junk, more than my remora did. It is quieter than the remora as well. Instructions with terrible, but you can figure it out. only thing i don't like, is the skimmer lid sits very well, but some bubbles will still rise in front of it. The the overflow box, keeps the top of the aquarium water very clear. I do have some micro bubbles but i am hoping they will dissipate after a couple of weeks.
