MR2 Skimmer

I'm going to order a new MR2 skimmer. I'd like to know the good and the bad about these skimmers if anyone has them. So far i' ve only heard good things.

I have one, and I LOVE it! It is easy to clean, produces a TON of skimmate, and is pretty quiet for a Beckett skimmer. I made a silencer for the air intake out of an old plastice film can and some filter floss, it works great!

Also this skimmer does not HAVE to be raised to a certain point in the water column if you are going to run it in sump. I have mine external now, and it works GREAT!
