I have one on my 150g FOWLR with a mag7 and it works great.
I like the easy adjustment. Pulls plenty of green sludge.

I've got it also. PITA to get adjusted, but still running.
I have adjusted the height of the skimmer so what with my pump and the airline running wide open the water level is just below the collection cup lip.
It runs well unless the airline is blocked, which results in the skimmer overflowing. This is a basic design fault in of an eductor style skimmer.
