    I've been shopping around for a new skimmer for awhile, and I have found a company that looks like they have some pretty good prices for nice looking skimmers. I have never heard of anyone using these, so I was hoping to get some input on how well they work and if they are worth it for the money as compared to other companies.

    SWC Protein Skimmers

    Thanks

    Mike

    Better to go with the ASM G2 for the money. Already proven and about the same price.:)

    Hey, Mike.... you still looking..... I have a pretty high opinion of SWC. They have a great line up, quality stuff, great prices and great customer service. What more do you want? Octo stuff is pretty tried and true and is sort of a base line to go off of, honestly though I would get SWC no problem over Octo. And SWC is not uncommon, tons of folks use them and are very happy. They have a good following.
