Tunze Nano DOC Protein Skimmer

The "Nano" model series has been designed for the use in reef biotopes up to 200 liters (52 gal.) and is gentle to the plankton in operation. The DOC Skimmer 9002 removes up to 80 percent of organic waste matter, such as protein and cellulose, from the aquarium water. Very little space is required in the aquarium, and its handling is very easy. On account of their construction, these models are particularly quiet during operation. On account of the high demands in stony coral aquariums, this skimmer should be used only in aquariums with about 100 liters (26 gal.) of water. Mixed aquariums or soft coral aquariums up to 200 liters (52 gal.) can be set up without any problems.

Delivery condition: Ready for mounting with holding device for vertical panes and horizontal glass tops up to 19mm (0.74 in). For tanks with a thicker rim, a Tunze Holder Extension M5x55mm, 3000.244 (TZ1531) is needed.

Principle
By means of the water jet of the Nano pump and a high-performance jet, a fine pearly air mixture is produced with is released into an easy-to-clean skimmer cup through a newly developed reflection system. The protein-containing aquarium water diffuses into the skimmer through the opening in the bottom and on the rear, which is gentle to the plankton, thus suitable in particular for breeding tanks with living plankton.

I purchased one about 3 weeks ago. Took me for ever to figure out how to assemble hang on bracket. lol Very quiet!!! Placed it on my 46 bow. Seems to do well. This was a replacement for my CPR.
 
Anyone else using it? I'm also curious how this thing performs. The footprint is definitely attractive.
