If I am thinking of the right brand I have heard some bad things about it's effectiveness and that you have to tinker with it and modify it to make it work properly. I would spend a little more and get a better quality skimmer that you wont have to replace after a few months when you realize it is junk.
I use Maxi-Jet powerheads and have been happy with their performance so far. I have heard alot of bad things about Rio pumps, I my skimmer came with one and I never had any trouble with it but you might want to be on the safe side and avoid that brand
