Based on the way the skimmer is built I wouldn't expect it to perform. but I have been very satisfied with how much it skims. Be sure to buy the larger version for you tank as the ratings are kinda high.

I have one on a 37 with a 10 gallon sump.
So far I've had it for a little over a month and I'll tell you what, the air stone skimmer I was using on my 20g produced more skim then this thing...I've tried to adjust it both wet and dry and I get the same results. close to nothing.
one thing I really hate about it, it the way it's put together... it's made of cheap this plastic that snaps in place to hold it together..it's not what you'd expect for the money Tunze charges for this thing...the other day I took it apart to clean it, another part that was glued in place came out with the pump..I think for the money you can buy a much better skimmer IMO.
One more thing. If you have an issue with it and you vent a little frustration about the product Tunze has only one guy in the U.S. taking care of everything..rub him the wrong why and you will get no help.
