I'm using an urchin pro. Modded the foam tower and added a mag 5 to increase performance. It's doing the job. They are cheap too!

Nice little gift! It should do well on tanks up to 40g or so. Put a mag3 on it with a gate/stop valve so you can dial it in. Get some cheap vacuum silicone tube off eBay to lessen vibrations from the pump. Make a silencer out of something like neoprene or styrofoam for the spray injection. You can also place a small cap on the lid that will cover the collection neck. The cap should be just slightly larger than the mouth of the collection neck this will force more of the foam into the cup and increase performance. If you are handy with acrylic you can increase the size of the reaction chamber which will substantially boost foam production.

Here is a popular thread where a member used a hob remora and has a beautiful tank.
