That's what I have and it's a good skimmer, only thing I don't like is its sweet spot is pretty shallow.

Yes they like 5-3/4 to 6" of water, any deeper and I would use a stand or they make neck extensions and they seem to make the foam thicker.

You should do a 'looking for' thread. Tons of reefer here put their skimmers in storage, many of which 'high end' ones.
