Im looking at replacing my proflex 2 sump with this. Seems like a good setup and i dont really feel like doing a diy setup. |

Looks like a good sump but the skimmer looks subpar, may not perform that well.

downdraft skimmers are tempermental and looks like that one uses bioballs. Bioballs are a PIA to control the foam production. Better off with a becket style if you like downdrafts. Just my .02
