natural12 is an unknown quantity at this point
I really like the savio skimmer. Very sturdy and the face plate uses a gasket for a seal. I have never had a problem with it.

Got to agree with Stone about closing the line a little with a valve. I don't understand it. The rep at Anjon told me the same thing. "its good for the pump if you install a ball valve and shut it down a bit".

The tsurumi pump has been good. However, had to replace one recently that was still under warranty. It was a bit of a pain. Bought it from Anjon and they told me Aquascape (i think it was aquascape) bought out tsurumi and they had to get the replacement from them. Turned into a bit of a hassle so after a couple of phone calls complaining they sent me a new one called Big frog. Basically the same pump with a different name. Both are efficient with electrical use.
