    hey guys, mr won himself came into our shop yesterday to deliver some lights and heaters we ordered(not bad service huh?) he brought in his new line of skimmers for us to try, 1 will do up to a 200 gal tank and the other will do up to a 300 gal tank. they are downdraft venturi models kinda like the predator skimmer. well to make a long story..............EVEN LONGER, we bought 1 of the 200 gal models and i bought 1 of the 200 gal models to try on my 55 all fish tank(it will have to go a long way to beat my berlin skimmer) i am setting up the other one we bought on a customers 90 gal that i mantain(she has a excalibur on it now, not a bad skimmer at all but i want something with a little more umph on it. i will let you guys know how they work. here is a pic of the skimmer.(the candle holders are not included, they were extra) by the way, mr won is a very nice man, and seems to know what he is talking about.(he took 7 bucks off of my skimmer because the box was bent) they are probably going to go for around 225 with pump or 180 without.
