Anyone used this sump/skimmer

http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=1810#

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
