This is the one that you've modified to adjust surface skimmer section correct?

Yes! It's a mandatory mod. Unless you want to skim underwater

jmpreef,
I know the skimmer has been sold but I am thinking about getting one for my 50 gal tank and have a few questions. (1) did it work well for you (2) about how much space would I need from the back of the tank to the wall (3) It appears that the pump is extrernal, is that correct (4) If the pump fails is it difficult to find a replacement and finally, thanks if you answere all of these questions.
John

I didn't use it enough time for it to break in and start pulling out stuff. You need the thickness of the skimmer (posted up here in this thread..) plus I'd say a couple inches in case you need to go in there with your hands to adjust something. The pump is external correct and it's an octopus standard pump OBT-1000 (1000 l/h).

Read this thread about my preliminary tests and mod:
