    Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm curious about this skimmer. The site is now shipping to North America, along with just about the rest of the world apparently at reasonable rates(as far as NA goes at least, which is pretty far from them). They've switched the pump on this skimmer to the Sicce-2500 as well. It seems like a decent enough skimmer, has anyone seen one in action yet?

    Delivery information. This page says they are now offering shipping to the U.S, Australia, South America...etc,etc. I made an account and completed some of the checkout on that skimmer to find out the shipping cost. It was 53$ for shipping to Canada (this seems to be the rate for the U.S and Mexico as well), which I think it pretty good considering the long distance.
