Product Description
The bh-1000 is a unique design hang on back skimmer in that the pump is mounted external and under the actual skimmer body allowing for much less room needed behind the aquarium. Also by placing the pump outside the skimmer and the aquarium there is no heat exchanged to the water. This design also allows for easy removal of the pump for cleaning and maintenance.

Customer Reviews
I use this on a 55 gallon reef setup and it works incredible. Started skimming gunk almost immediately. Initially I had an eshopps HOB that my LFS couldn't get to stop overflowing no matter what he did. Apparently he was able to get it working in his own tank after nearly 1 month. This one was easy to set up (as other people mention, go to youtube, the included instructions are basically useless), relatively quiet, and dredges up absurd amounts of junk. Can't recommend it enough.One note, mine did not come with any "water level" indicator line on the collection cup like they show in photos so initially I couldn't keep the unit from overflowing until I found a suggestion to keep the bottom of the collection cup just above the overflow hole between the 2 chambers (which I had inadvertently blocked. As soon as I moved it just above the hole, the unit started to work perfectly.Unrelated update: My LFS still has the eshopps sitting (and overflowing) on one of their own tanks 2 months later. They say they are fighting with eshopps to get it taken back as they think the wrong air pump is installed on it.
