Reef Octopus Skimmers

I'm wondering who makes the reef octopus skimmers or is that the name of the company. Any way does anyone have any reviews on the diablo 8" space saver? and is there a self cleaning attachment for it or is there not one designed for that skimmer?

I have one and it works fine but from time to time either goes flat and produces nothing or goes crazy and overflows. These things happen even Hugh nothing has changed in the setup. I am not sure why or if it is a property of the skimmer or not
