    Im having trouble find a skimmer online that isnt killing me on shipping.. I originally wanted a SWC 160 Cone skimmer from Tb Aquatics, its 280 and shipping is 250 :-[ !! I live in Canada, so figures, is that what im looking at for shipping for pretty much every skimmer im gonna buy online? Anyone know another really good brand I can look into? Thanks

    I know there is a Canadian company that carries SWC, cause I've been to their site, hoping for better prices on SWC Cones. Look around for that...prices were comparable to US if I remember correctly.

    SWC is a Canadian company. Look them up and get one.
