Junk, avoid it.
use the powerhead as an MJ mod, and the contact chamber could be your riser column for your first DIY skimmer.
Seriously, it was a poor second to the seaclone, which was pretty poor in itself. it was a b!tch to set up, the first ones had a recall on the impeller as they kept jamming, and the cup was far too small... it holds about a shot-glass of skimmate when full!
there are some excellent plans for skimmers on the DIY pages, I've made an absolute beast out of a polycarbonate pasta jar and a load of plumbing parts... it's easy and cheap, and much more satisfying when you pull out a pint of dark brown sh!te from your tank!
