    Just ordered an Eshopps PSK-100, kind of hesitant cause their dirt cheap but they had good reviews on DFS and it cost less than $140 shipped to my door to replace the super skimmer 125 that has totally failed on me AGAIN

    I'll write up a review once I get it in and installed but I've never been let down by Eshopps so I'm going to keep with the good thoughts :)

    I've read good things about them on other forums. Not much bad so I ordered a PSK-150 to put in my new set up when I get it put up. It came well packaged and was very easy to put together. Instructions aren't much but it is close to plug and play.

    They may be dirt cheap, but I hear nothing but good about them.

    yeah, I wanted to order one of the cones from you Mike but unfortunatly I'm in a bit of a rush on this one, hopefully will be building a new 200+ gallon soon that I can hook up with you on.

    I won't count it against you as long as you post a lot of pictures.

    ok got the new skimmer installed on friday but didn't have time to take any pics, gotta say though, super easy assembly and install, within 2 hours of putting it in on it's lowest foam production setting I had already emptied 2 totally full cups of nasty skimmate so gotta say so far I'm digging the little skimmer and the super skimmers have a definite threat in the low budget great performing protein skimmer catagory

    I haven't seen eshopps brand on ebay. You will want the PSK-200 for yours if I remember right. That will give you room to stock heavily.
