is it just me or does every product from cpr have something about it that isnt quite right or a big pain to use like overflows that break the siphon daily or skimmers that release bubbles if you dont buy more stuff that should come with the skimmer to start with or refugiums that bow because they didnt put a $1.00 dollar brace where it should be i own all these products and maybe it is just me that has these problems sorry just ranting

I hear ya on a few of those issues. I have the largest CPR overflow. Mine doesn't break the siphon unless I have been lazy and not scraped it clean of algae. It is a bit noisy, but it works ok for me. I also have the big-mama filter with the dual built in skimmers. The PH's they send are crap and don't bubble the way a skimmer should. I even attached air lines to an air pump. They bubble better, but still not enough to please me.

When I move and rebuild my filtration, I am going to build my own Beckett skimmer and sump. I think that the CPR filter/skimmer box would work good for a FO tank, and that's what I plan on using it for.
