I've got the CPR bakpak II. It's all right, if you use the Rio pump it comes with the airline tube tends to come off, real PITA to fix. I'll probably be upgrading to an ASM Mini-G this winter. But I have a sump so I really don't need an HOB skimmer.

I am using the skimmer refugium combo. The construction of the product looks very good. since I am a newbie I don't have anything to compare to but here are my comments:

-Build quality, top notch
-Loudness, very lound. I originaly supposed to put my 20G nano tank in the bedroom but decided agains it since the protein skimmer is loud. I can't believe that this small power head thet runs the protein skimmer can be so loud.
-It could be difficult to work inside the refugium because it is narrow, but it did accomodate my 2 heaters, approx. 4lbs of sand an a narrow piece of live rock.
