Okay, so nobody told me I'd fall in love with this thing!
I installed it yesterday and I have zero icky oily film on top of my tank now. The water is so crystal clear, it's never been this clear.
I did not realize the box would be so HUGE!, but it makes sense once you see how it fits over the pump and how it works. I had to remove the entire top of the reef and reconstruct it around the prefilter box, but it was worth it. The fish seem to have found new suitable sleeping places since the change.
The foam being collected is much drier than before. You can put a bag of filter media (phosban, carbon, whatever) in the return side of the box, so it's useful for that a place to put things like that. I do believe it was money well spent.
