Octopus Super Reef LX1000s Hang On Back Protein Skimmer

So I am now considering purchasing the Octopus Super Reef LX1000s Protein Skimmer for my 10 gallon aquarium to replace my Seaclone 100 Protein Skimmer. I am curious to know if anyone currently owns this Protein Skimmer and could give me their own personal reviews regarding it. I have seen some videos on youtube and my primary reason for wanting this is because of the Hang On Back design and the Bubble Blaster Pump. So any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I've not seen one operating in person yet, so I can't add anything specific. I've encountered them at the various trade shows on display. If you get one, I know we'd like to read your experience.

    You might find this skimmer a little (read: a-lot) to large for a 10 gallon (nano) aquarium. If you are interested try looking at something like the Tunze Nano DOC 9002 skimmer. This unit is small but is truly not a toy, like the sea-clone.
    I too am interested in the performance of the LX1000 but one of the frequent complaints on the blogs always seems to be how large this unit actually is. The early ones were actually produced only in fire engine red and drew more attention than the aquarium inhabitants.
