    Where did you buy the Skimmer from? I might have to try talking my wife into buying it

    I can't even imagine what that collection cup smells like.

    SKimmer Skimmer

    Since you set this up how has the simmer performed? I have tried several over the years and may test this one out. I run a 125 gallon system. Does this produce dark form?

    I'm still very very happy with this skimmer for the price paid I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better one out there. It easy pulls twice the crap out of my tank then my last skimmer did;)

    SC Skimmer

    Just ordered mine from ebay. Great deal. I want to try it out to see if it out performs my current skimmer which just blew a pump. I have seen a alot in the ways of skimmers over the years and have a grave yard of older models like prism, Amircle and CPR. My tank is 125 gallons. The ability to control the bubble flow and size are great features. Lets compare notes on how it works for you.

    Great review! I'm now thinking of replacing my current skimmer (DD MC600) with this one. Is is quiet? That's my #1 objective for a new skimmer right now haha.
