Nano protein skimmer

Has anyone ever used an Aquatic Life 115?
How was it?

I had one in my biocube, first chamber. - i also had a tunze 9002 for a while which pulled much better skimmate, but was very touchy.

What tank are you using it on?

I haven't tried the aquatic life but I did use the CPR SR3 and Hydor Nano Slim Skim in my Biocube 29.
Neither impressed me.
I currently don't run a skimmer and only have matrix biological media in the second chamber for "enhanced" nitrification.
I use felt over the second chamber for mechanical filtration which keeps the matrix clean.
My nitrates and phosphates are near zero.

Yeah I've read mostly good things on the skimmer and not so good on most of the others. Tunze seems to be the only other with mostly good reviews. The only thing with that one is that it goes in chamber 2 and I'm putting a media basket(poly floss, purigen,chemi-pure elite) and cheato in there so there is no room.
